True condenser, multi-pattern small capsule microphone that features transformerless discrete low noise class-A electronics and three interchangeable heads with gold-sputtered diaphragms that provide cardioid, hyper-cardioid and omni-directional shaped polar patterns. Its sound characteristics are ideal for many recording and live situations: it will catch the crispness of the guitar, every detail of the acoustic piano, the complexity of a clean electric guitar, the raw power of distorted amps, etc. The microphone is equipped with high-pass filter and pad switches. This also makes it suitable for loud sounds and even vocal recording.
