MC59 – Capsules

519.00

The MC59 Modular Microphone System provides an extensive range of highest quality true condenser capsules which can be combined with four different preamplifier types to ensure maximum flexibility.

 

Currently, there are six different capsules available:

  • Omnidirectional
  • Omnidirectional+ (diffuse field equalized)
  • Open Wide Cardioid
  • Wide Cardioid
  • Cardioid
  • Hypercardioid/Shotgun
  • Additional capsule varieties are currently in development (e.g. the displayed O2 capsule which features an omnidirectional capsule with 16mm diameter)

A figure-8 pattern is available, not as an individual capsule, but as a complete microphone.
