KSM44A Multi-Pattern Dual Diaphragm Microphone Premium microphone with three polar pattern options (cardioid, omnidirectional, bidirectional).

Features

  • Prethos® Advanced Preamplifier Technology: Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier provides  transparency, extremely fast transient response and no crossover distortion. Minimizes harmonic and intermodulation distortions.  
  • Groundbreaking specifications: 4dB of self-noise and max SPL of 131 dB for a total dynamic range of 127 dB – an increase of 7 dB that defines the new standard for cleanly nuanced audio capture
  • Multiple polar patterns–cardioid, omnidirectional and bidirectional–for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications
  • Dual 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 μm, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass diaphragms provide superior frequency response
  • Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
  • Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17 Hz.
  • Switchable 15 dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
  • 3-position switchable low-frequency filter helps reduce unwanted stand vibration noise or counteract proximity effect
  • Integrated three-stage "pop” protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise

    Type Condenser (externally biased)
    Frequency Response 20 to 20,000 Hz
    Polar Pattern Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Bidirectional

NT1000 - ?Pure Performance? Ultra Versatile 1? Studio Condenser Microphone.

With its ultra low 6 dBA self-noise and transformer less SMT circuitry, the
R?DE NT1000 exhibits exceptional performance when recording both vocals
and instruments in the studio.
Voiced for ?application versatility?, the NT1000 has been hailed by many as the
ultimate drum over-head and grand piano mic selection. The NT1000 is also
equally at home as a first call vocal mic. With its Australian made 1? HF-2 capsule
incorporating internal shock mounting, the NT1000 boasts a 134 dB dynamic range,
and 140 dBA SPL capabilities and a 20 Hz ? 20 kHz frequency response.
Built of a heavy-duty cast metal satin nickel body, the NT1000 incorporates a
high-strength, heat-treated mesh head, and comes supplied in a zip pouch with a
stand mount.
