The B-5 is a professional gold-sputtered diaphragm condenser microphone featuring 2 interchangeable capsules for different pickup patterns (cardioid and omnidirectional). It is perfect for acoustic instruments, vocals and overhead miking. Its ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion. Its -10dB attenuator can be used with high volume signal sources, while the low-cut filter eliminates floor rumble. The B5 includes a rugged hard case, stand adapter and windscreen. Frequency response: 20Hz-20kHz, requires 48V phantom power.
