The new model handles up to 137 dB SPL and delivers clean, detailed sound in difficult acoustic environments. The MK-019 is based on the well-known MK-012 condenser microphone produced in the 1990s. Its sturdy compact metal body fits into limited spaces. RF shielding protects against interference. A modular design with magnetic mounting allows quick capsule changes for different tasks. The microphone also suits vocals and, with an added pop filter, podcasts.
