Veterans of the music recording industry have been using the Horizon as their secret weapon for nearly a decade. This cardioid vacuum tube studio condenser microphone is built like a tank and handles just about anything you can throw at it. Use the Horizon for killer guitar amps, mix-cutting vocals, tight snare drums, rich acoustic guitars, and even on instruments like concertina and mandolin.
High-end electronics
Internally, the Horizon features a carefully constructed 28.25mm diaphragm capsule which accurately captures sound waves. A military grade vacuum tube for fantastic tone. Finally, high resolution capacitors and a precision wound output transformer for exceptional performance and clarity.
More gain, more SPL, more choices...
With approximately 8dB higher output than typical studio condenser microphones you won't need to rely on expensive preamplifiers to achieve great sound as less gain from the preamp is required. Plus, two attenuation choices reduce amplitude by 10 or 20 decibels allowing you to record sources up to 140 decibles! If fact, reviewers have stated they were unable to distort the Horizon. Or use the attentuation feature to get more character from your preamplifier and less from the mic. These features help you achieve superior results on a large variety of instruments and voices.
