The hand-crafted gold-sputtered 1/2" true-condenser capsule delivers unparalleled clarity and uses the same omni-directional capsule as the renowned sE8 omni. Plus, the omni capsule can be swapped out for our cardioid sE8 capsule to enable a wider spectrum of applications such as kick drums and high SPL sources.
