Kaina 1365 €1706 €Sutaupykite 341 €''The Globe" is based on a dual diaphragm large-size true electrostatic capsule. The highest quality 6-micron Mylar film active diaphragm is sputtered with our special formula of gold mixture, and tensioned on a precisely made brass back-plate. It provides a faster transient impulse response, minimum sound coloration, better low frequency response, and allows the capsule to handle louder sound pressure levels. Each capsule is carefully checked for all parameters and measured in an anechoic chamber for optimum of performance.
The unidirectional cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces ambient studio noise, but the frontal incidence angle is optimally wide. The microphone's head-grille is made as acoustic filter of multi-layer brass mesh that reduces plosive sounds, breath, pop and wind noise, minimizes internal resonance, and keeps high frequencies and sound transparency unaffected. The additional metal mesh studio pop-filter and polyurethane open cell foam wind-screen are available as options.
The internal solid state pre-amplifier is based on a class-A fully discrete transformer-less electronics circuit, built using the best quality, selected components. The circuits are designed to the highest audio standards and provide a linear audio frequency range, high dynamics, ultra-low self-noise, and very low audio distortion of all types.
