Microphone offers transformer less output and true condenser design (element constantly biased by the pre-amp) for exceptionally low self noise and increased dynamic range, enhanced low and high end response with improved linearity across the frequency range and maximum SPL capacity. It features a large dual diaphragm capsule (1.1 inch) and selectable low cut filter, 10dB attenuation pad and 3 polar patterns omni, cardioid. The capsule is hand tooled from brass and features a 3-micron gold-evaporated on Mylar diaphragm for maximum sensitivity, long life, detail and tone. The capsule also utilizes a specially designed gold-plated center-terminated element, which creates a gentle extension of the top octaves and enhanced-accuracy transient response. It uses a carefully selected Field Effect Transistor (FET), specially chosen for its low distortion and superior signal-to-noise ratio.
