Zeppelin Design Labs Cortado Xe - All-in-one. Phantom-powered. 26mm across.
The Cortado Xe is the most compact pro contact microphone we've ever built — a balanced piezo sensor and a phantom-powered JFET preamp integrated into a single all-steel housing 26mm across and 11mm tall, with a permanently attached XLR cable. Plug into any 48V phantom input and you're ready to record or perform. No battery. No DI box. No outboard preamp.
KEY FEATURES
• All-in-one design — sensor and preamp integrated in a single 26mm × 11mm all-steel housing with permanently attached XLR cable
• All-steel ferrous housing — durable, well-shielded, magnet-mountable for instant repositioning
• Extended frequency response — 40 Hz to 40 kHz captures full harmonic detail well past the limits of human hearing
• Balanced XLR output — pro-grade signal, low noise, drives long cable runs without degradation
• Phantom powered (48V) — no batteries, no DI box, no external preamp needed
• Versatile mounting — ships with mounting putty; ferrous housing also accepts tape or any common magnet for fast repositioning
• Lower profile than competing AKG C411 PP and roughly 39% less expensive at MAP
