Manufacturer's description
A tiny studio microphone with a large-diaphragm capsule and groundbreaking features, CM–15 is part of Teenage Engineering's Field System.
It's a versatile studio-quality, ultra-portable microphone that comes with an integrated audio converter and built-in preamp. Add a 3.5mm jack and a 48V phantom powered mini XLR, and you have a truly one-of-a-kind battery-powered studio microphone.
Use the gain switch on the back for padding those mean drums, or the other way around. Battery-powered with an integrated high-quality audio converter and preamp, CM–15 is always ready to use wherever you like to record.
- Dynamic sound for any occasion: rich, transparent and natural, CM–15 captures clear and clean sound for professional audio productions, always ready to set up wherever you like to record.
- Pure craftsmanship: CM–15 is an incredibly versatile microphone, both inside and outside the studio. The large-diaphragm condenser capsule essentially means you get a better signal, so there is less noise and better depth of sound.
- Vocal recording: as a directional mic, CM–15 is perfect for the vocal booth, focused on picking up sounds in front of it.
- Instrument recording: with the flattest frequency response at a 50cm distance, CM–15 is perfect for capturing a variety of instruments, including your drum kit.
- Interview/podcast: CM–15 is great for podcasts and interviews, where high audio quality and portability is necessary.
- Field production: with a compact form factor and 10-hour rechargeable battery, it's a great tool for every ’trip’.
- Camera mic: when filming with a video camera, connect CM–15 through the line out to record synced audio directly.
- Multi-use connectivity: CM–15 has multiple outputs that can be used simultaneously: mini XLR, 3.5mm jack and USB-C. It can also be powered three ways, through phantom power, battery or USB-C, instantly detecting the right power source for your connected device.
CM–15 includes a standard 1/4" and 3/8" adapter, making it universally compatible with standard mic stands and tripods. The included adapter allows for a 90° to 110° tilt, so you can mount the mic onto a boom arm or to better record overheads. Use Tripod Mini for portable setups (available separately). The built-in table stand can be used to rest and angle the microphone on a surface.
CM–15 includes a mini XLR to XLR cable for connecting to your recording console. The 3.5mm jack can be used with headphones, while USB-C is used for digital audio interface connection, firmware updates and charging.

How much is my shipping?
Shipping is automatically calculated before you submit your payment information. Simply add items to your cart and proceed to the checkout page, where you'll be offered shipping options and their prices. In the UK, 'next working day' shipping is free if the order value is over £150, and £5 otherwise. We can also ship on a 'next working day before 12pm' service, which costs £6 for orders over £150 and £7.50 for orders under £150.
Shipping to mainland EU typically costs between £7 and £20, depending on the shipping method and the size and weight of the order.
Do you ship to my country?
Almost certainly - the site will give you an estimate of shipping costs if you add an item to the cart and then enter your country and postcode. If you have specific requirements (such as if you prefer UPS over FedEx, for example) then let us know in advance and we'll try to work something out for you.
Shipping methods
We use a combination of DPD, Royal Mail and Parcelforce for the UK, and for international orders it's either DHL, FedEx, UPS, Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on where you are in the world. If you have a particular preference then try to let us know BEFORE you order so we can look into it for you. Please note that there may occasionally be additional shipping charges if you live in a remote area, depending on what surcharges are applied by the shipper. We'll get in touch to discuss this with you in such cases.
Dispatch times
For UK orders, we aim to dispatch the same working day if we get the order before 16:00. If you have a really urgent situation then of course drop us an email before ordering and we'll always do our absolute best to accommodate you.
For international orders, we normally dispatch the same day if we get the order before 13:00 but again, occasionally it might be the next day before we can send it out, and sometimes the couriers may come to collect a little earlier than scheduled which would also push an order into the next day.
Saturday/Sunday shipping
If you're in the UK and you order before 16:00 on a Friday then we can send something for a Saturday or Sunday delivery with DPD. This is FREE for order values over £350, £5 for order values between £75 and £250, and £7 for order values under £75. (NB: this applies to UK mainland addresses only). Please note that any orders placed after 16:00 on a Friday will ship on the Monday.
International shipping times
Since April 2020, the couriers we use have suspended guarantees for shipping times, so even though we're paying them for priority services - 24-48 hours for most of the world - in practice it's often an extra day on top and sometimes it can be longer. There is absolutely nothing we can do about this, unfortunately. If you are outside the UK and it's a life-or-death situation where you absolutely MUST have that passive mult for the next day then... it may be better to find a local supplier.
Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet. The product listing will include an estimated shipping date based on the best information we have from the supplier, but do bear in mind this is subject to change and is not a guaranteed date.
If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch if you have questions.
