Vonyx CMS400B - Complete Studio Set with Condenser Microphone, Articulating Arm and Pop Filter
Discover the Vonyx CMS400B , the ultimate all-in-one solution for content creators, musicians, and podcasters looking to take the leap to professional audio quality without the hassle. This studio setup has been meticulously designed to deliver exceptional sound performance right out of the box, eliminating the need to purchase separate components. Whether you're setting up your first home studio or upgrading your streaming equipment, the CMS400B combines aesthetics, functionality, and precise pickup technology in a robust and elegant package.
At the heart of this set is a highly sensitive condenser microphone , built to capture the subtlest nuances of vocals and acoustic instruments. Unlike traditional dynamic microphones, the CMS400B's condenser capsule offers extended frequency response and crystal-clear clarity, resulting in bright, vibrant recordings. Its black and gold finish not only gives it a premium look on camera but also reflects the internal build quality, designed to minimize distortion and background noise.
Versatility is key with the CMS400B. Thanks to its direct PC connection via the included XLR to 3.5 mm jack cable, you can start recording or streaming in minutes. The included stand is a marvel of ergonomics: a broadcast-style articulating arm that attaches securely to your desk, allowing you to position the microphone at the perfect angle and height for your comfort, while keeping your workspace clear and tidy.
Main features
-
Professional audio pickup: The microphone features a pickup pattern that isolates the main sound source, reducing ambient room noise for clear, direct voice.
-
Adjustable studio arm: The articulated scissor arm stand allows for smooth movement and precise positioning, ideal for streamer desks and voiceover tables.
-
Complete accessory kit: Includes a gooseneck pop filter and windscreen foam that work together to eliminate unwanted pops and whistling, ensuring a clean shot without the need for excessive post-production.
-
Shock Mount: The suspension spider physically isolates the microphone from the stand, preventing keyboard vibrations or table bumps from affecting your recording.
-
Phantom Power Compatibility: Although it works with a direct connection, it is ready to unleash its full potential when connected to a 12-48V phantom power supply, increasing its dynamic range.
Benefits for the content creator
The Vonyx CMS400B is designed to make life easier for creators. Its greatest benefit lies in its immediacy: it eliminates the usual technical barriers of professional audio. By including all the necessary accessories, you save the time and expense of searching for compatible filters or stands. Superior audio quality improves audience retention on platforms like YouTube or Twitch, where sound is just as important as visuals. Furthermore, its ergonomic design allows you to stream or record for extended periods without fatigue, maintaining a comfortable posture in front of the microphone.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an external sound card to use it?
It's not strictly necessary to get started. The set includes a cable that allows you to connect the microphone directly to the 3.5 mm microphone input on most computers. However, for maximum volume and quality, you can use it with an audio interface or external phantom power supply.
Does the arm fit any table?
The articulated arm includes an adjustable table clamp that securely attaches to most standard desks and flat surfaces, allowing for quick installation without drilling.
Is it suitable for recording instruments?
Yes, being a condenser microphone with a wide frequency range (20Hz - 20kHz), it is excellent for capturing acoustic instruments such as guitars, ukuleles or violins in great detail.
