Sanken CO-100K 100 kHz Super-Wide Range Condenser Microphone
By Ian Schreier
The conventional wisdom regarding the frequency range of human hearing is that it falls between 20 Hz to 20 kHz. So why on earth would you need a microphone that is capable of capturing frequencies up to 100 kHz?
I have a number of theories as to why and how the information above 20 kHz really does influence what we hear and perceive, even in a 44.1 kHz world. But I'm not an acoustical scientist and this not a white paper; I'm simply a recording engineer and this is a product review, so onward.
Speaking as a part of the team here at Manifold Studios, it turns out we did need some microphones that go that high — especially once we heard them. After spending some time recording and experimenting with a pair of Sanken CO-100K microphones and comparing them to other options in our mic locker, it became crystal clear (pun intended) that these mics capture nuanced detail in a way that our ears — and, more importantly, our clients — will immediately appreciate.
