Caught on Cortado
How do you use your Cortado?
Cortado players are an inventive bunch — sticking these mics on guitars, banjos, machines, bridges, ice, and places we never imagined. We want to hear about it. Send us your story and any photos or video, and you could be featured on our site and channels.
How it works
Tell your story
Fill out the short form below. Whether you run a Cortado MkII, MkIII, or the new Xe, tell us how and where you put it to work — the more creative or surprising, the better.
Show us
Add photos, video, or audio. You can upload files directly, or paste a link to anything that lives on YouTube, Vimeo, Google Drive, Dropbox, or WeTransfer.
Get featured
We'll publish our favorites on cortadomic.com and our social channels — and send a free Zeppelin Design Labs T-shirt to everyone whose story we feature.
Not sure what to share?
There's no wrong answer. A few things we'd love to see:
The instrument or object you mic, and where you place the sensor
A recording, performance, or sound-design clip you captured
An unusual or unexpected application no one would guess
Your mounting trick, rig, or setup photo
Live sound, field recording, foley, ASMR, or studio use
Why the Cortado earned a permanent place in your kit
