Myburgh Ships M28 Multi-Pattern Microphone
The German-built M28 offers five polar patterns and a €4850 price tag, shipping from Myburgh.
Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Music — General
Myburgh has shipped the M28, a multi-pattern microphone built around a German-made CK12 capsule and priced at €4850. The new signal path was designed by Drew Myburgh, Eckehard Dux, and Andreas Grosser.
Why it matters
The M28 brings a multi-pattern studio microphone to market with an all-new signal path and a custom output transformer, giving recording engineers a versatile option at the high end. Its wide sound-pressure handling and five polar patterns make it adaptable across a range of recording situations.
The M28 has a frequency response of 30Hz to 20kHz, an output impedance of 200Ω, and draws about 3.2mA from 48V phantom power. Its cardioid sensitivity is 9mV/Pa with 15dB(A) equivalent noise, and the figures are manufacturer specifications with no independent verification reported.
The players
Myburgh
Myburgh is the microphone manufacturer that developed and shipped the M28 multi-pattern microphone.
Drew Myburgh
Drew Myburgh is a designer credited with the M28's all-new signal path.
Pikatron
Pikatron is the company that designed the custom transformer used in the M28.
The details
The M28 uses a FET-based amplifier whose response shifts with level, staying clean at lower levels and adding subtle second-order harmonic content when driven harder. Its output stage uses a custom transformer by Pikatron that differs from the one in the original C12.

Product Lineage
The M28 follows the original C12 from the same manufacturer, but adds five selectable polar patterns and a redesigned signal path. Its transformer was reworked by Pikatron, departing from the component used in the C12.
Recording engineers and studios weighing a high-end multi-pattern microphone can compare the M28's €4850 price and its five polar patterns against their current setup. Those considering a purchase will need 48V phantom power and a preamp that can handle the M28's 200Ω output impedance.
The takeaway
Buyers evaluating the M28 should weigh its multi-pattern flexibility and redesigned signal path against its €4850 cost, using the published specifications as a starting point before any hands-on testing.
