Zeppelin Design Labs has launched the Cortado MkIII, the latest incarnation of its high-performance contact microphone. The Cortado MkIII is a rugged, versatile, easy-to-use contact mic that, according to the company, reveals the hidden sounds in the solid world around you. The mic is equally useful for sound design, music recording and venue sound reinforcement. The sensor head attaches easily to most surfaces with clamp, tape or putty, and is tethered to the preamp chassis with a 6-foot shielded cable.
