A Large Diaphragm Designed for the Modern Studio
The Spirit belongs to the family of versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphones, designed to cover a wide range of studio and home studio applications. Its 1-inch capsule, with a gold-evaporated surface, ensures excellent mechanical stability and precise transient response, guaranteeing detailed and musical recordings.
Who Is This Microphone For?
Ideal for singers, acoustic guitarists, content creators, and sound engineers, the Spirit allows switching from a solo vocal in cardioid to a face-to-face duo in figure-8, or even ambient recording in omni. Its low self-noise and good handling of high sound pressure levels facilitate demanding recordings, from home studios to professional stages.
Key Features for Controlled Sound Capture
Agile Triple Polar Patterns
Switching between omni, cardioid, and figure-8 optimizes the balance between proximity effect, potential stereo width, and rear/lateral rejection, adapting the microphone to the room and source.
Dynamic Management
The 3-position attenuator pad (-20/-10/0 dB) allows handling powerful sources without distortion, while the 80 Hz high-pass filter cleans up rumble and handling noise.
Silence, Detail, and Headroom
With an equivalent noise level of 14 dB(A) and a max SPL of 138 dB, the Spirit combines finesse on soft passages with comfortable headroom on stronger attacks.
Robust Ergonomics
Built-in pop filter, shock absorption at the capsule level, and integrated microphone stand mount in the housing: everything is designed for quick, reliable sessions without unnecessary accessories.
