MP1 (Matched Pair)
SMALL DIAPHRAGM CONDENSER MICROPHONE
INDIVIDUAL / MATCHED PAIR w/ QUICK STEREO MOUNTS
OVERVIEW
The MP1 excels in applications like acoustic instruments, drum overheads, and orchestral recordings.
Its advanced capsule technology, hand skinned and matched in pairs, offers a balanced yet rich tonal quality, while its high sensitivity and low self-noise make it ideal for delicate performances and subtle nuances.
The combination of a carefully tuned capsule and the acoustic impact of the circular body vents has been engineered to minimize off-axis bleed, delivering a perfect cardioid polar pattern with a flat, non-hyped frequency response. This design avoids the harsh high-frequency content typical of modern small-diaphragm condensers, while its exceptional signal-to-noise ratio and high headroom provide clear, undistorted output for any audio application.
Perfectly suited for both studio and live environments, the MP1 delivers a natural, transparent sound with a smooth and pleasant frequency response. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures outstanding directivity, capturing the desired sound source while minimizing unwanted ambient noise.
The microphone’s rugged, solid brass body is built to withstand the rigors of professional use, yet remains lightweight for easy handling and placement in tight spaces.
