Features

• A highly consistent cardioid polar pattern.
•  Ultra-thin, 2.5 �m 24 karat gold-layered, low mass Mylar� diaphragm for superior transient response.
•  Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic
• and intermodulation distortion. 		 •  Premium electronic components, including gold-plated internal and external connectors.
•  Subsonic filter eliminates low frequency rumble (less than 17 Hz) caused by mechanical vibration.
•  Three-position switchable pad (0 dB, 15 dB, and 25 dB) for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs).
•  Three-position switchable low-frequency filter reduces background noise and counteracts proximity effect.
