Teenage Engineering CM-15 Large Diaphragm Portable Field Microphone

The CM–15 redefines what’s possible in portable studio recording with its rare large diaphragm capsule and professional-grade ESS SABRE analog to digital converter. This studio quality microphone combines a built-in pre-amp, USB-C audio interface, 3.5 mm jack and 48V Phantom powered mini XLR output into one remarkably versatile unit. Three gain settings on the back accommodate everything from soft vocals to heavy drums, while thoughtful construction minimises handling noise for professional audio productions.

Connectivity options are comprehensive with mini XLR, 3.5 mm mini jack and USB-C all available for simultaneous use in any combination. The microphone automatically detects the right power source from phantom power, battery or USB-C, making it adaptable to any recording situation. Its compact form factor enables quick portable studio set-ups for musicians and podcasters who need professional results on the go.

The built-in stand allows the mic to sit directly on surfaces without requiring a tripod, though a stand adaptor is included for 90 to 110° tilt adjustment when mounted to standard mic stands. The separately available Tripod mini provides additional portable mounting options. As the second product in teenage engineering’s field system range of portable audio production devices, the CM–15 represents the most robust portable studio microphone currently available.
