High quality, large diaphragm dynamic microphone that offers a full bodied sound and an excellent transient response. It is a versatile microphone that will perform very well in many applications, in the studio, on stage and in broadcast applications, for speech/vocals and instruments like kick-drum and electric bass. It has a consistent cardioid polar pattern for low off-axis coloration and a good rejection of unwanted sounds, and a marked presence peak centred around 5 kHz for a forward and distinctive sound. Using this microphone close to the sound source results in a bass boost in the 75-300 Hz area, due to the proximity effect which can help make voices and instruments sound fuller. Three switches allow user to adjust the frequency response: there are two switches for selecting two different bass roll-off filters and one switch for lowering the response in a frequency range centred around 5 kHz. Because the microphone is equipped with an internal windscreen, an external pop filter will usually not be needed. The 15.8mm thread stand adapter matches different stand gauges.
