Frequently Asked Questions

A true pressure transducer measures sound pressure directly, providing a more accurate representation of the sound field, especially in reverberant environments, compared to free-field mics which are affected by the microphone's own acoustic reflections.
The treble boost is subtle, but it can add a touch of airiness. In close-miking, it's generally unnoticeable and contributes to a balanced, natural tone.
Clean, low-noise preamps are essential; think Neve 1073 or Millennia Media preamps to preserve the mic's clarity and detail without adding unwanted coloration.
