Pencil Microphones - 2011 Cardioid Stereo Pair

These mics are acclaimed for their close-miking excellence and hi-SPL handling. Optimized for onstage use, it has been used on many stages as well as recording sessions. They exhibit a previously unheard blend of clarity, richness and dynamic range. The off-axis response is linear but in a smaller frequency bandwidth. This makes stage separation and gain-to-feedback higher. The mic level is easier to control.

The foam design in the heavy-duty transportation box allows for fast and easy exchange of the microphone/accessory inlays.

Inside the 2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Microphone, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth.

Inside the MMC2011 Twin Diaphragm Cardioid Capsule, two opposite-facing miniature capsules are custom rebuilt. They are placed into a double-diaphragm, one-capsule composition. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise achieved from a larger diaphragm area. These capsules provide fast impulse response and large frequency bandwidth.

The capsules are loaded to the supreme recording microphone series preamplifiers instead of the tiny miniature FET ones. This gives the sound more air and precision.

Together with the MMP-C preamp, this makes a small, lightweight and inconspicuous stereo pair.

The compact design and controlled directionality of these mics make them an excellent choice for spot mics for classical recording and on-stage close mics for live sound.
