“Every single sound man who mixes us has something good to say about Chantelle, like literally every single one! I've noticed my voice sounds richer and fuller and less harsh when I use it.”
—Ryan Sollee, The Builders and The Butchers
End-address large-diaphragm condenser with flexible pivoting body, very feedback resistant, excellent for live vocals and acoustic instruments.
Chantelle was created to be the best available live vocal mic. She brings the clarity, warmth, and character of a large diaphragm capsule to a beautiful low-profile body ideal for close-micing. She has a smooth high end with no harshness and a very gentle upper-midrange emphasis. She also incorporates a full foam pop filter for great plosive protection. With exceptional feedback rejection, she can be used on even the loudest of stages.
Her warm, present tone is also great on acoustic instruments.
For close-micing a variety of instruments and vocals also consider Edwina, possibly with a pop filter.
