Transparent uppers/mids balanced by rich low end qualities combine with advanced acoustic engineering for extensive performance capabilities and highest quality
Dual diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone
The 2 micron thick, vapor deposited gold diaphragms undergo a five step aging process so that the optimum characteristics achieved remain constant over years of use
Three switchable polar patterns: omni, cardioid, figure of eight
Transformerless circuitry virtually eliminates low frequency distortion and provides superior correlation of high speed transients
