Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

• Large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone

• Two discrete switchable circuits: 47-style and 48-style

• 47 Cardioid: decouples the rear diaphragm in a process known as True Cardioid, providing a louder sound with enhanced sensitivity and more background and high-end detail

• 48 Cardioid: polarizes the rear diaphragm with the same voltage as the backplate – also known as Active Cardioid – for a tighter, warmer, more intimate sound with slightly less sensitivity

• Custom UT BV-8 output transformer, made in the USA

• Audiophile-grade polystyrene, tantalum, and film capacitors, as well as PRP thin-film resistors made in the USA

• Inline EMI/RFI AC input filter

• RF output filter

• Polar patterns: omnidirectional, 2 x cardioid (True Cardioid and Active Cardioid), figure-8

• Capsule: 6-micron, 24k gold-sputtered Mylar (PET film)

• Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz

• Max SPL: 137 dB @ 0.5% THD

• Output impedance: 35 ohms

• Tubing: NOS EF86 pentode

• Self-noise: 11 dBA

• Microphone dimensions: 26.5 x 6.25 cm

• Power supply dimensions: 9.25 x 19.5 x 18 cm
