Large diaphragm microphones are widely used to record vocals and other featured sound sources due to their low noise and ability to capture more acoustic energy than smaller diaphragm mics. Designed with a large, highly sensitive condenser capsule, the 2003A captures the detail and rich sound of vocals, acoustic/electric guitars, and percussion recordings. A selectable bass roll off reduces unwanted low frequency rumble and a 10db pad attenuates the mic so that it can reproduce a wide range of sounds. Included are a shock mount to minimize unwanted vibrations and a carrying case.
• Large-diaphragm mic with a vintage-modeled capsule design
• Transformerless FET preamp for a smooth, even response
• Outstanding realism for vocal and instrument recordings
• Bass roll-off and attenuator for added flexibility
