Type: capacitor
The main advantages
- The built-in filter can easily cut off low frequencies (less than 80 Hz). This allows you to eliminate the effect of approach and noise reproduced by operating equipment (ventilation, heaters, etc.)
- A dedicated switch reduces the output signal by 10 dB without changing the frequency response, which can significantly increase the audio range
- Multi-stage grille provides blow-out protection without compromising microphone performance
- XLRM connector is gold-plated to ensure long-term use and protect the contacts from oxidation
- High-quality anti-shock protection provides suppression of extraneous noise during operation
