It offers excellent directional control in a compact design with high consonant articulation and rejection of feedback. The unit is highly immune to humidity because of its RF condenser design. It operates as a hypercardioid at low and medium frequencies with a lobar pattern above 2 kHz.Pressure gradient receiver with short interference tubeEmploys RF-technology to control residual microphone noise. Optimizing the transducer's acoustic impedance results in a further improvement in low noise performanceThe RF-design yields low noise levels and high immunity to humidity and moistureThe comparatively low RF-voltage across the elements of the transducer also eliminates arcing and DC-bias creeping currentsHypercardioid at low and medium frequency, above 2 kHz approaches lobar patternVery low inherent self-noiseHigh sensitivityTransformerless and fully floating balanced outputRugged, suitable for adverse climatic conditionsMatt black all-metal bodyIncreased directivity
