Key Features

Large Diaphragm Design: Provides a smooth, natural sound and significantly reduces self-noise, making it ideal for capturing nuanced vocals and instruments.
High SPL Handling: Features a switchable 10 dB pad that allows the microphone to handle extremely high sound pressure levels (up to 158 dB SPL), ensuring clean recordings of loud sources like drums and guitar cabinets.
Cardioid Polar Pattern: Improves isolation of the desired sound source by reducing pickup from the sides and rear, which is essential for focused recording in untreated spaces.
Integrated Controls: Includes a switchable 80 Hz high-pass filter to easily eliminate unwanted low-frequency noise and rumble (like foot traffic or air conditioning).
Complete Studio Package: Comes with a custom AT8458 shock mount for superior isolation from stand-borne vibrations, along with a protective pouch for safe storage and transport.
