All-metal construction built with highest attention to detail, providing efficient rejection of any electrical interference and noise with a high-quality finish to ensure a great look for many years.

HAND-SELECTED TUBE AND CUSTOM TRANSFORMER
Unique tube circuit design optimized for driving the first custom-made transformer. Each microphone-grade tube is carefully selected and pretested in-house for stunning realism and depth in recordings.

NINE SELECTABLE POLAR PATTERNS
Precisely tuned dual-diaphragm capsule design allows you to choose the perfect setting for every application while minimizing unwanted signal bleed with ease.
GOLD-PLATED XLR CONNECTOR
