Description
Designed for critical studio, live sound and broadcast applications
Transformer-coupled output and specially-tuned element provide sonic characteristics reminiscent of early F.E.T. studio microphone designs
Exceptionally low self-noise, wide dynamic range and high SPL capability
Dual-diaphragm capsule design maintains precise polar pattern definition across the full frequency range of the microphone
Precision-machined, nickel-plated brass, acoustic element baffle provides enhanced element stability and optimal sensitivity
Vintage silver-matte finish on microphone and shock mount
Open acoustical environment of the symmetrical housing assembly minimizes unwanted internal reflections
State-of-the-art surface-mount electronics ensure compliance with A-T’s stringent consistency and reliability standards
Switchable 80 Hz hi-pass filter and 10 dB pad
Custom shock mount provides superior isolation
