The Anatomy
for great
Performance
One-inch
edge-terminated capsule
gold-sputtered diaphragms ensure
maximum reliability on the road
• ultrahigh precision parts with
tolerances inthe region of microns
• assembled with great care in our
factory in Vienna
Integrated capsule suspension
eliminates structurally-transmitted
vibrations that interfere and cover
the sound
Nine polar patterns
the one-inch twin-diaphragm capsule
enables to choose the perfect setting
for every application
Lock Mode
for live-sound applications and
permanent installations all controls
can be easily disabled • settings
cannot be changed unintentionally
Transformerless Output
ensures 152 dB dynamic range •
over the entire audio spectrum •
