Retro-style large-diaphragm condenser microphone with spring suspension Myrtle is a retro-style, spring-suspended, large-diaphragm condenser microphone ideal for live vocal performances and single-micing small acoustic ensembles. Its style is faithful to the most classic 1930s design of ETL microphones, while offering the same remarkable feedback resistance as the Edwina, a modern acoustic design suited to today's stage environments. Its low end is tuned for precise capture of acoustic instruments from a distance, delivering exceptional detail and warmth beyond its sweet spot of 6 inches. Myrtle's exceptionally low noise and natural, clear sound also make it an excellent studio microphone. ●FEATURES Handmade condenser microphone with a unique appearance. Internal shock damper for subtle handling noise. Integral silk/mesh pop filter for plosive control. Fully balanced, transformerless FET design. Highest quality hand-wired electrical components - film capacitors with individually tuned component values, precision resistors, and hand-tested transistors for matching. Custom-cut, floating metal tool case. Recommended Applications: Stage and studio use, single miking of soloists, small ensembles with acoustic instruments and multiple vocalists ●Major users Del McCoury Band, Brandi Carlile, The Wood Brothers, Mandolin Orange*, Christopher Paul Stelling, Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley, Wood and Wire ■Specifications TRANSDUCER TYPE: condenser, large (26 mm) diaphragm POLAR PATTERN: cardioid FREQUENCY RESPONSE: 20 - 15Khz (-3dB) SENSITIVITY: -38.6dB (11 mV/Pa) OUTPUT IMPEDANCE: <50 ohms NOISE LEVEL (A-weighted):
