  • M-Audio

    The Sputnik is a multi-pattern large diaphragm vacuum tube condenser microphone. The Solaris is a large-capsule multi-pattern condenser microphone. The Luna is a professional large-capsule condenser microphone.
  • Chameleon Labs

    The TS-2 is a multi-pattern large diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed for sonic clarity with rugged construction. It features newly designed vacuum tube electronics and a continuously variable pattern selector to provide a high level of versatility at an affordable price.

  • Octava USA

    The MK 219 is a fixed pattern, cardioid microphone featuring a large diaphragm capsule teamed with a low noise discreet preamplifier circuit. The MK 220 is a twin diaphragm, multi-pattern microphone developed from the Oktava MK-319. The MK-319 is a fixed-pattern, cardioid, large diaphragm mic intended for studio and broadcast usage. The MK-105 uses the MKL-5000 capsule but uses different head and body construction. It is designed for vocals, grand pianos, guitars and percussion.
  • SE Electronics

    The Z3300A is a versatile FET microphone and utilises a large 1.07” twin diaphragm, which gives the engineer a choice of three polar patterns, omni, cardioid and figure of eight. The Z5600a II has nine graded steps through omni, cardioid and figure of eight patterns, and a 10dB pad and bass cut. It can be used in a number of applications, from mic-ing a live drum kit, to overhead on a choir. The ICIS shares the same large 1.07" gold-sputtered, edge mount diaphragm as the Z5600a, with a fixed cardioid pattern.
  • MXL
