Classic Retro Microphone for Vocal Performance

The 5 Core Retro Microphone is a dynamic vocal microphone with a vintage metal body in black and blue. It uses a unidirectional cardioid pickup pattern to capture sound from the front while rejecting background noise. The built-in pop filter reduces plosive sounds for clearer recordings. It connects via XLR for professional audio interfaces and mixing consoles.

Check Your Interface and Phantom Power Needs

This microphone requires an XLR input on your audio interface, mixer or recorder. As a dynamic microphone it does not require phantom power, so ensure your preamp can provide adequate gain for the 600 Ohm output impedance. The package includes a universal mic stand adapter for flexible positioning on standard stands.

Consistent Output During Extended Sessions

The dynamic capsule and metal construction maintain stable performance during long recording or live sessions without overheating or signal drift. The cardioid pattern continues to isolate the vocal source even at high sound pressure levels. The wide frequency response of 30Hz to 15kHz captures full vocal range consistently.

Questions about this item

Does the RTRO MIC CH BLK-BLU come with an XLR cable or stand, or must I buy them separately?

The microphone includes a built-in pop filter and a universal mic stand adapter. An XLR cable and a stand are not included and must be purchased separately.

The specs list one colour combination and one model — are there other finishes or versions to choose from?

Only the Black and Blue finish with model RTRO MIC CH BLK-BLU is offered; no alternative colours or capacity options exist for this microphone.

How does the 30 Hz – 15 kHz frequency response and -50 dB sensitivity translate when I plug the mic into my interface?

The 30 Hz – 15 kHz range captures deep lows and bright highs for vocals, while -50 dB sensitivity delivers a strong signal that most preamps can drive cleanly at 600 Ohm impedance.
