Pulsar II Small-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone

A fine choice for drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, close-miking strings and woodwinds, and room miking,

The redesigned Pulsar II small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone takes M-Audio’s pencil condenser technology to an even higher level. Designed in the U.S.A. by veteran engineers and hand-assembled to exacting standards, the Pulsar II mics exhibit quality comparable to that of vintage classics. Features like -10dB pad and 80Hz high-pass filter switches, higher SPL than the original ,and a redesigned solid-brass backplate deliver smooth, accurate sound in the studio and on stage. The Pulsar II condenser microphones have many applications including drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, close-miking strings and woodwinds, room miking, and more.

The Pulsar II easily adapts to many recording and live situations. The 12dB/octave 80Hz high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble and the potential for overloading mic preamps with low-frequency signals. The -10dB switchable attenuation pad and thermal diaphragm treatment also allow it to handle high SPLs for its class. And the included T-shaped stereo mounting bracket facilitates XY and ORTF recording right out of the box.

Requires phantom power.
