Originally designed for miking Latin drums (due to its studio quality sound and the ability to withstand the sound pressure level inside drums, C-ducer outperforms other mikes in many applications. When Frank Sinatra used it on piano (in fact, would not go on stage without it), along with Moody Blues’ drummer, Graeme Edge, John Williams on guitar, and a host of other world-class musicians, the world of live sound production started to take notice. When Dave Brubeck toured Russia (amazingly just a few weeks after bypass surgery) he credited C-ducer on the album cover claiming he “…could not have recorded the album without C-ducer.”  Later many famous venues and studios started to use C-ducer - The Royal Opera house, Sydney Opera House, the Royal Albert Hall, Radio City Music Hall, Opreyland, Abbey Road Studios, the BBC and many others.

As well as for its sound quality, C-ducer was embraced because of its rejection of external sounds, its incredible dynamic range and immunity to feedback.  In the studio, stereo separation and lack of ‘bleed through’ made it the piano mike of choice. When filming, the C-ducer is invisible and enables the capture of a 'clutter free' stage performance.

Although the application for which C-ducer is most famous is miking pianos, nearly all stringed instruments are candidates for C-ducer, along with many other miking applications. These include theater sound effects (creaking doors, percussive effects), tap-dance floors, ‘oddball’ percussion (Coke cans, wood blocks, chimes and gongs), recording dolphins in the English Channel, and many industrial applications.
