  • The Small Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a professional-grade acoustic instrument and vocal capture microphone engineered to deliver exceptional sonic clarity for modern studio tracking, live broadcasting, and high-fidelity content creation.
  • Built around a precision-engineered 16mm electret condenser diaphragm paired with a sophisticated, transformer less FET output circuit, this microphone captures transient-rich audio with an ultra-low noise floor and broad dynamic range.
  • Featuring a tight cardioid polar pattern to isolate target sound sources from surrounding ambient noise, this studio tool excels at tracking acoustic instruments and overhead ambient soundscapes.
  • Combining an eco-conscious structure with premium specifications, it seamlessly integrates into any modern audio interface or mixer setup requiring balanced phantom power.
Features
  • Precision 16mm Condenser Diaphragm: Utilizes a highly responsive 16mm electret capsule engineered to deliver transparent, uncolored audio across a full 20Hz – 20kHz frequency range. This sensitive capture profile is perfectly optimized for recording acoustic guitars, piano dynamics, stringed instruments, and drum overheads.
  • Focused Cardioid Polar Pattern: Specifically designed to capture audio directly in front of the capsule while rejecting off-axis sound from the sides and rear. This attenuation pattern is ideal for untreated home studios, podcasters, YouTubers, and live streamers who need to isolate their voice or instrument from background room reflections.
  • Transformerless FET Output Circuit: Equipped with an advanced solid-state FET preamplifier that handles high acoustic energy up to an impressive 143dB SPL without distorting. This clean signal path is essential for tracking loud audio sources like brass sections, guitar amplifiers, and percussion with pristine clarity.
  • Eco-Conscious Sustainable Engineering: The sleek, high-strength microphone chassis is crafted using 100% recycled PIR (Post-Industrial Recycled) metals and alloys, minimizing environmental impact. This design makes it the definitive choice for eco-conscious production studios, creators, and professionals prioritizing sustainable hardware.
  • Ultra-Lightweight & Compact Footprint: Measuring just 140mm in length and weighing a mere 147g, the pencil-style profile is highly agile. It is perfectly suited for positioning in tight spaces, clamping onto complex multi-microphone instrument arrays, or mounting onto lightweight desktop boom arms.
