Features

Clear, open highs with solid mids and lows

The newly developed microphone capsule, machined brass acoustic tube and refined circuitry deliver pristine, neutral audio capture with clear, open highs and a well-defined low-to-mid range.

Narrow frontal directivity and smooth off-axis response

The advanced microphone capsule and acoustic tube create precise super-cardioid directivity, focusing on sound from the front while attenuating unwanted pickup from the sides and rear.

Stable response over a wide distance range

The unique capsule and acoustic tube combination minimises frequency and directivity variations at different recording distances, providing consistent audio quality across a wide range of recording situations.

Circuit design for high quality and low noise

Top-quality film capacitors and metal film resistors are used in the signal path for sonic clarity and accuracy, while conductive polymer aluminium solid capacitors support a wide dynamic range. The machined aluminium chassis helps protect against external vibration and electrical noise.
