Full Description
Studio-grade audio fidelity
The C-3 has a dual-diaphragm capsule, helping you deliver an open, transparent sound with exceptional transient response and a flat frequency response.
The microphone features three selectable pickup patterns. The omni setting captures sound in all directions, making it ideal for recording musical instruments where the sound usually dissipates across the room.
The cardioid setting is for capturing the source signal whilst minimising off-axis sounds. The figure eight setting is for picking up what’s directly in front and behind the microphones diaphragm. This is perfect for recording vocals where the input signal usually travels straight through the front and the back of the microphone.
Rugged and ready for the road
The durable construction of the C-3 helps to minimise any wear and tear generally linked to studio and transportation use. The microphone features a metal die-cast body to ensure that it can withstand the bumps and scrapes that can occur in studio environments, especially after prolonged use. Also included with the C-3 is a durable transport case, providing extra durability when you’re on tour.
