This mic is the perfect fill-in between an omnidirectional and a directional microphone.
The off-axis characteristics of this mic are totally linear, a unique quality when it comes to authentic sound reproduction. Any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, just softly attenuated.

Features

TOTALLY LINEAR OFF-AXIS CHARACTERISTICS

·         Low profile – wide pickup area

·         Natural reproduction

·         Directional ambience pickup

·         Exceptional for vocals

·         Modular flexibility
