Features

• A vacuum tube microphone featuring the most transparent high-fidelty head amplifier on the market, which effortlessly delivers the signal picked up by the capsule and delivers it to microphone preamplifier.

• Nine selectable polar patterns ranging from figure-8 to omni.

• -15 dB pad

• The amplifier utilizes a NOS Telefunken EF804S pentode coupled by a Mundorf® low-microphoney oil-impregnated polypropylene capacitor to a Lundahl® transformer

• The high impedance path is built on teflon insulated turrets, not on PCB

• Cast bronze body

• In the typical Knif practice, all electrolytic capacitors are eliminated from the signal path and anode power supply

• The capsule is mounted to the body via a cast silicone shock absorber

• The manufacturing enables the shaping of the piece to follow the form of the body resulting in minimal sound diffraction and vertically diffusing the arriving sound waves

• Copper foam head basket grille for optimal acoustic performance
