Ace Backstage CSM-61SC 60" Supercardioid Choir Stick Condenser Mic
The Ace Backstage CSM-61SC is built for choir directors, sound engineers, and house of worship production teams who need consistent overhead pickup without the complexity of ceiling-hung microphone systems. The 60-inch aluminum boom shaft positions a Shure miniature electret condenser element at the ideal capture point above choir risers, stage steps, or portable staging, while the universal taper-body clutch mount keeps the assembly rock-solid on any standard stand.The supercardioid pickup pattern targets sound from directly above the ensemble and rejects off-axis bleed from adjacent sources, making it a practical choice in live reinforcement environments where stage monitor proximity or neighboring instrument groups create isolation challenges. The 6061-T6 aluminum shaft keeps the overall weight low enough to prevent stand tipping even at full extension, a real-world concern when deploying multiple units across a wide choir formation. Phantom power is supplied through the included module, accepting 11-52V DC, so the mic integrates cleanly into any professional console or stagebox without additional hardware.For production teams that need wireless flexibility, Ace Backstage offers internal rewiring to interface directly with Shure wireless transmitters, extending the deployment options beyond fixed-cable installs. This makes the CSM-61SC a long-term investment for organizations running both wired and wireless configurations across different performance contexts.
