Frequently Asked Questions

The capsule system offers a significant cost savings if you already have a wireless receiver; it's essentially a high-end vocal mic head for your existing system.
While it's natural, it's not sterile; it's a very transparent canvas for effects. It will reproduce your processing accurately, just without inherent coloration.
The tight pattern offers excellent isolation, but careful mic technique is still required to manage reflections in challenging rooms; it minimizes bleed but won't eliminate it entirely.
