High-performance multi-pattern large-diaphragm microphone with exceptionally high headroom and extremely low self-noise. It is among the condenser microphones with the widest dynamic range available today, and it will give equally excellent results in the studio and on stage. Due to its warm and dark-sounding character, it is known in the pro-audio world as an insider’s tip for thin vocals, bright brass instruments and acoustic guitars. Beyond that, it is designed for miking a broad range of instruments from electric guitar to kick drum. The microphone has selectable polar patterns (cardioid, hypercardioid and omni) for a wide range of applications due to dual-capsule design. Thanks to the use of ultra-low-noise electronic components and transformerless electronic design for high SPL capability and low distortion it is one of the quietest condenser microphones available. Switchable 10dB attenuation pad allows close-in miking at extremely high sound pressure levels. Audio frequency bandwidth: 20 Hz-20 kHz. Equivalent noise level: 8 dB-A. Sensitivity: 25 mV/Pa. Signal to noise: 86 dB-A. Dimensions: 183 x 58 mm. Weight: 450 g. Matte Dark Grey colour design.
