Rugged steel enclosures house the Cortado MkIII’s sensor and phantom-powered preamp circuit. The mic is equally useful for sound design, music recording, and venue sound reinforcement. The sensor head attaches easily to most surfaces with putty (included), clamp, or tape. The built-in pad can be used to cut sensitivity when recording very loud sources. The switchable Bass Boost function extends low-end response when your project needs maximum rumble and boom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor head is connected to the preamp chassis with a 6’ (1.8m) high quality shielded cable. The preamp receives 48V phantom power from your standard XLR mic cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cortado MkIII is the most affordable professional contact mic in its class.

Connect to any standard 48V phantom-powered XLR input and go.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt for musicians, recording engineers, sound designers, and anyone who needs to capture vibration from a solid surface, the Xe mounts on acoustic instruments, percussion, piano soundboards, or anything that resonates — and it rejects airborne stage noise far better than an air microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe all-steel ferrous housing is tour-tough and magnet-mountable, so you can reposition it in seconds with the included putty, tape, or any common magnet. Extended frequency response (40 Hz – 40 kHz) captures harmonic detail well past the limits of human hearing — useful for studio layering, live performance, and creative sound design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Xe shares the Cortado family’s core philosophy — balanced XLR output, phantom power, extended high-frequency response — in the smallest, simplest form factor we’ve made. If you want onboard pad and high-pass filter controls at the microphone, the Cortado MkIII is the full-featured option. Many users will want both: the MkIII for control at the source, the Xe for travel, quick setups, and instruments where size matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-inside list-disc whitespace-normal\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eAll-in-one design\u003c\/span\u003e — Sensor and preamp in a single 26mm × 11mm all-steel housing with permanently attached XLR cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eAll-steel ferrous housing\u003c\/span\u003e — Durable, well-shielded, and magnet-mountable for instant repositioning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eExtended frequency response\u003c\/span\u003e — 40 Hz to 40 kHz captures full harmonic detail\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eBalanced XLR output\u003c\/span\u003e — Pro-grade signal, low noise, long cable runs without degradation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003ePhantom powered (48V)\u003c\/span\u003e — No batteries, no DI box, no external preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"font-semibold\"\u003eVersatile mounting\u003c\/span\u003e — Ships with mounting putty; ferrous housing also accepts magnets or tape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Oceania Audio Sales","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51646175674535,"sku":null,"price":349.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0334\/9659\/6612\/files\/cortado-xe-transp.webp?v=1793056262"}],"url":"https:\/\/oceaniaaudiosales.co.nz\/collections\/contact-microphone.oembed","provider":"Oceania Audio Sales","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
