Fat, punchy and focused
Finally ? An affordable condenser mic with real mojo!
The HM-2d is a unique large diaphragm condenser mic voiced to sound big and beefy - like a quality dynamic mic.
Use the HM-2d on electric guitar amps, outside of kick drums, on horns, harmonica, high-strung instruments, and vocals. Basically put it up whenever you want a smooth old-school vibe instead of the hash and grit of low priced tube mics, or the mud of some of the inexpensive off-shore ribbon mics flooding the market, recently.
Also, because the HM-2d is a transformerless condenser mic, it's far less susceptible to the loading effects that can drastically change the sound of dynamic mics from one pre-amp to the next. It's got a round top end with a fast bottom for a sound that's clear yet tight. The frequency response varies only about 2 dB between 70 Hz and 12 kHz.
The mic ships in a foam-lined box and comes with a quality shock mount.
