SubZero SZC-300 Condenser Microphone

A versatile mic for all musicians

The SZC-300 is a high quality, large diaphragm condenser microphone, housed in a sturdy and durable metal chassis. This mic is ideal for broadcasting, podcasting, live performances, studio recording, home recording and much more! This mic utilises a cardioid pattern that focuses on picking up the main sound source and minimising unwanted extraneous noise. This particular type of pattern is ideal for vocals, as it will accentuate the chosen sound that is directed at it. The frequency response and sensitivity of the microphone also ensures the most accurate sound reproduction possible.

Clear and transparent audio reproduction

The SZC-300 accurately reproduces the recorded audio with a clear transparent sound and a warm tone. With a broad frequency range it is able to capture a wide range of dynamics over a full range of pitches. This mic uses FET circuitry, specially chosen for its low distortion and superior signal to noise ratio; giving a clear and accurate sound. The robust chassis and included mic cradle means there is very little handling noise, retaining a clean, isolated sound. Also included is a microphone pouch, so you can easily transport your gear.
