Clear, open highs with solid mids and lows
A newly developed microphone capsule, machined brass acoustic tube, and refined circuitry combine to achieve pristine, neutral audio capture that fully supports the high resolution and extended frequency response of Hi-Res Audio. With a well-defined low-mid range and clear, open sounding highs, it is possible to capture the natural nuances of human voices, environmental sounds, musical instruments, and more.

Narrow frontal directivity and smooth off-axis response
An advanced microphone capsule and acoustic tube form a precise phase interference system that attenuates pickup from the sides and rear consistently over the entire frequency range. Ideal off-axis characteristics based on exceptional super-cardioid directivity allow focused, natural sounding pickup from the front so that the desired sound is clearly captured and unwanted ambient noise is effectively attenuated while retaining smooth, natural overall response.
