The finely machined large diaphragms deliver a warm, classic vintage tube sound reminiscent of the tonal character of early F.E.T. studio tube microphones. The dual diaphragm design ensures precise directional characteristics across the entire frequency range, and the microphone offers high sound pressure tolerance and exceptionally low self-noise. With its elegant matte silver finish and matching microphone shock mount, the microphone looks as good as it sounds.
