3-Zigma CHI Lollipop Large Diaphragm Microphone (Transformerless) Details The 3-Zigma CHI Lollipop (XFO-Less) Large Diaphragm Microphone is designed to be an extremely flexible platform offering the demanding engineer a range of sounds going from the most classic vintage toned capsules to the most true to the source, "straight wire", modern specs capsules. Made to be reliable and robust, this microphone system must be regarded as a long term investment, and one that can only grow: indeed, as you add more capsules and accessories, your CHI system will expand and offer more options thus enhancing your recording, helping you getting the sounds you're after in the studio and generally speaking, broadening your sound "palette" when recording. The Transformerless (XFO-Less) HA-TL-II CHI head amp is a very neutral transformer-less impedance converter, simply fed by standard 48 Volts Phantom power. It has ample headroom, extremely low noise and is totally stable and perfectly shielded. The main strength of the CHI system lies in its flexibility: the transparent XFO-Less HA-TL-II head amp lets you pick the sound and behavior of the capsule to form a combination which offers a sound ranging from transparent and unobtrusive and flexible (many different polar responses) to obviously colored.  Comes with the C-LOL-251 Capsules C-LOL-251 Cardioid Acoustical operating principle: 27.5mm large diaphragm pressure gradient transducer Directional pattern: cardioid Frequency range: 20Hz~20kHz Sensitivity: -34dB (20mV/Pa) Output impedance: 100 ohms Equivalent noise A-weighted: 8 dB S/N ratio (A-weighted, rel 1Pa): 86dB Maximum SPL @ THD 0.5%: 138dB Maximum output voltage: 12 dBu Dynamic range (A-weighted, THD 0.5%): 130dB Supply voltage: 48 volts (P48) Current consumption: approx. 4mA
