- Wide frequency response 30 to 50.000 Hz
- Symmetrical transducer with 2 backplates providing extremely low distortion
- Extremely low inherent self-noise
- Accurate directional pattern
- Non reflective Nextel coating
- Ideal as a spot microphone and for surround recordings
- Also available in stereo pairs
