Features

• Three switchable polar patterns: cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-of-eight
• Engineered to meet the critical acoustic requirements of professional recording, broadcast, and sound reinforcement
• Transformer-coupled output and specially tuned element provide sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs
• Exceptionally low self-noise, wide dynamic range and high SPL capability
• Dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone
• Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity
• Vintage silver-matte finish on microphone and shock mount
• Open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections
• Custom shock mount provides superior isolation
• Integral 80Hz high-pass filter switch and 10dB pad switch
