Yamaha YCM01 Condenser Microphone

A Studio Condenser Microphone for Streaming, Podcasts and Music

The Yamaha YCM01 is a side-address back electret condenser microphone with a cardioid pickup pattern and an XLR connector. Yamaha designed it for a broad range of uses – live streaming, gaming voice chat, remote meetings and music production.

Its cardioid pattern focuses on the sound in front of the microphone, while a 30 Hz–20 kHz frequency response and 130 dB maximum SPL let it handle voices and instruments. It is the microphone Yamaha includes in the AG03MK2 LSPK live streaming pack, and this listing offers black and white finishes.

Back electret condenser capsule

The YCM01 uses a back electret condenser unit with a sensitivity of –37 dB ±3 dB (0 dB = 1 V/Pa at 1 kHz), giving clear, detailed pickup of speech and singing.

Cardioid pattern for focused pickup

The cardioid polar pattern is most sensitive to sound from the front, which helps keep the focus on your voice at a desk or in a home studio.

30 Hz–20 kHz with 130 dB max SPL

A wide frequency response and a maximum input level of 130 dB SPL (THD ≤1% at 1 kHz) let the YCM01 capture vocals, spoken word and instruments.

XLR output for mixers and interfaces

The YCM01 connects over XLR to a mixer or audio interface that provides +48V phantom power, such as the Yamaha AG03MK2 and AG06MK2 streaming mixers.

Stand adaptor, thread adapter and pouch included

Yamaha supplies a microphone stand adaptor with a 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch threaded adapter already attached, plus a microphone pouch. It can be mounted on a tabletop stand, a standard microphone stand or a desk arm.

Q. Does the YCM01 need phantom power?

Yes. It is a condenser microphone with an XLR output and should be connected to a mixer or interface supplying +48V phantom power.

Q. Will it work with Yamaha AG mixers?

Yes. The YCM01 is the microphone Yamaha bundles in the AG03MK2 LSPK pack, and any AG mixer with a +48V combo input, such as the AG03MK2, AG06MK2 or AG08, can power it.

Q. What's included in the box?

Yamaha lists a microphone stand adaptor, a 5/8-inch to 3/8-inch threaded adapter (already attached to the stand adaptor), a microphone pouch, the owner’s manual and technical specifications. An XLR cable is not listed.

Q. How big and heavy is it?

The microphone measures Ø55 × 166 mm and weighs 0.4 kg, without the stand adaptor.
