How does the CM-15 work with the field system?

The CM-15 integrates seamlessly with other field system products through its compact design and multiple output options.

Physical Compatibility

The CM-15 shares the aluminum casing and design language with the OP-XY, OP-1 Field, TP-7, and TX-6. All field system products are designed for portability and durability, with matching nylon bag accessories for transport.

Direct Connections

Connect the CM-15's 3.5mm mini jack output directly to the TX-6 or OB-4 for portable recording setups. The mini jack provides a dual mono line level signal. Use a stereo cable for stereo inputs, or a stereo-to-dual-mono splitter for mono inputs.

For the OP-1 Field or OP-XY, you can record through the TX-6 as an intermediary, or use the CM-15's USB-C output if your workflow includes a computer.

Battery-Powered Workflow

The CM-15's 10-hour battery life matches the portable nature of the field system. You can record completely untethered for field jams, outdoor sessions, or mobile setups without needing phantom power or USB connection. Set the gain switch to +18 dB for quiet ambient sources or distant recording.

Typical Setup

For a complete portable studio: CM-15 microphone connected via mini jack to TX-6 mixer, with OP-1 Field or OP-XY receiving audio from the TX-6. Everything runs on battery power and fits in matching nylon bags.
