Brett Allen recording with CO-100K microphones

“The great thing about the 100K’s is you feel like you’re getting all the benefits of close miking but you’re ten feet away so you’re getting a lot more openness in that instrument.”

Pianist Scott Davis recording with CU-44X MK II microphones

“I want the piano to really pop out from the stereo speakers as a three-dimensional living thing.”

Bruce Botnick recorded the orchestral score of Tom Cruise’s “Jack Reacher” with five Sanken CO-100K microphones

“The clarity and musicality of the 100k’s gave Joe Kraemer’s score great transparency, which allowed the music to emotionally enhance the film to its fullest.”

Grammy Award-winning Frank Filipetti recording LA Philharmonic

“My main orchestral sound came from 6 Sanken CO-100Ks, an LCR tree above the conductor, and 3 rear. These mics have a phenomenal response and a texture in the top that captures that high air in a warm way.”

Rob Jaczko, Chair of the Music Production and Engineering Department at Boston’s Berklee College of Music

“We loved the sound of acoustic guitar with the CU-55, and because they are small and side-address, they work very favorably when getting them into tight spots.”

Grammy Award-winning producer/engineer Chuck Ainlay recording JD & The Straight Shot

“I’ve been messing around with the CU-55 for about a year and just fell in love with it. I’ve used it on a lot of different instruments, the mic is fairly crisp, but not unnaturally so.”

Grammy Award-winning Frank Filipetti recording LA Philharmonic

“The CU-55s are small and unobtrusive, but they have a wonderful low frequency response while still providing super quick transients. You get a lot of air without harshness, and a really nice deep low end.”

Grammy and Emmy Award-winner Rob Macomber, Chief Engineer of the Music Studios at Jazz at Lincoln Center

“The CUW-180s perform wonderfully anywhere and everywhere, I use them as a pair over the stage for ambience. Eight feet up or so, at the lip of the stage angled at 45 degrees. I also use them for ensemble sections, as a section mic it is fabulous.”
