FEATURES:

• Cardioid pick-up pattern
• Modular design
• Wide frequency response 30 to 50.000 Hz
• Symmetrical transducer with 2 backplates providing extremely low distortion
• Extremely low inherent self-noise
• Accurate directional pattern
• Non reflective Nextel coating
• Ideal as a spot microphone and for surround recordings
• Also available in stereo pairs
