Broadcast quality cardioid microphone for studio and stage. 4 settings – 4 different voices – 4 discrete signal paths. V1 (Vocal 1): This was voted top in blind testing for a range of male vocal takes, regardless of the pitch of the singer. V2 (Vocal 2): This setting came top for a range of female vocal takes. As with V1 this was more to do with timbre than pitch. In both cases these results are subjective and we recommend trusting your ears to find the best settings for your needs.G (Guitar): At home on anything from Spanish guitar through to raucous guitar cabs! D (Dark): A vintage sound, reminiscent of classic ribbon mics.Works with and without 48V phantom power. Autodetect function senses 48V and activates built in preamp. Class A Mic Pre built in – no external gain lifting device required. Unique Sorbothane internal shock mount. Excellent off axis (side) rejection. Built-in purple LED phantom power indicator – switchable for Stealth mode. Supplied with quick release stand mount
