Both microphones feature a 35 mm capsule and a 27.5 mm (1.08”) gold vapor diaphragm mounted with a side-address design. The CX112B, characterized with a single-sided diaphragm producing a cardioid polar pattern, also includes a bass roll-off filter and a 10 dB pad allowing for sound pressure levels of up to 145 dB.
The companion CX212B features a dual diaphragm design designed to enable multi-pattern operation: cardioid, omni-directional, and figure 8. Additionally, the CX112 includes a bass roll-off filter to help eliminate rumble and vibration.
