It features a 1-inch brass dual-diaphragm capsule for smooth, natural reproduction with controlled low-end and detailed highs. A uniform cardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection and reduced proximity effect, while patent-pending interference shielding technology blocks RF noise from devices such as cellphones, laptops, and Wi-Fi routers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAn internal pop filter minimizes plosives and rumble, and the microphone handles high sound pressure levels up to 140 dB for versatile use with soft vocals or loud sources like drums, guitar amps, and horns.
