-
Gold-sputtered dual diaphragm design: Enhances sensitivity and improves sonic depth in vocals, acoustic instruments, and more.
-
Switchable attenuation pads (-10 / -20 dB): Lets you capture loud sound sources without distortion by reducing signal level.
-
Low-cut filters at 80 / 160 Hz (6 dB/octave): Removes rumble, proximity effect, or low-end boom when close-miking.
-
All-metal housing & gold-plated XLR connector: Durable, reliable build that handles stage or studio abuse with minimal noise interference.

High SPL capability up to 145 dB (with pad): Handles very loud sources like kick drums, guitar cabs, brass without clipping or distortion.
