Based on a classic vacuum tube design and manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities to exacting standards, this multi-pattern, large diaphragm studio condenser delivers the lush, classic sound normally associated with rare and expensive vintage mics like the U47 and C12. Sputnik�s combination of a hand-picked military-grade vacuum tube, ultrasensitive evaporated gold Mylar diaphragm, solid brass construction, and multiple polar patterns makes it ideal for a wide variety of voices, instruments, and applications.
The M-Audio� Luna� II professional cardioid studio condenser microphone updates the award-winning Luna mic, acclaimed for superb sound and excellent performance. Designed in the USA and hand-assembled in limited quantities, Luna II delivers vintage look and sound combined with modern Class-A, solid-state electronics for the best of both worlds. The large, 1.1� ultra-thin, 3-micron, evaporated-gold diaphragm with brass capsule captures nuances with incredible detail.
