The C-3 is a dual-diaphragm studio condenser microphone offering multiple selectable pickup patterns, giving engineers flexibility across vocal, instrument and room-capture applications from a single microphone. That pattern versatility makes it useful in a wider range of recording situations than a fixed-pattern condenser. The C-3 is a flexible studio tool for varied recording needs, letting one microphone switch between pickup patterns instead of forcing engineers to own several fixed-pattern condensers. Features: Professional large dual-diaphragm condenser microphone for studio recording and live applications Ideal as main and support microphone for studio and live applications Selectable cardioid, omnidirectional or figure-8 pickup pattern Pressure-gradient transducer with shock-mounted dual-diaphragm capsule Suited to acoustic instruments, overheads and piano Exceptionally flat frequency response and ultra-high sound resolution Ultra-low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion Ultra-rugged construction with metal die-cast body Gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector for maximum signal integrity Swivel stand mount and transport case included
