The product has a 1-inch dual-diaphragm capsule and a natural frequency response with a slight high-frequency boost. The new microphone offers very low self-noise (5 dBA) and consistent polar patterns, combined with low-frequency rejection to control off-axis interference. The microphone has three selectable polar patterns. The package includes a shockmount, pop filter, rigid mount, thread adapter and high-quality carrying case. The 44MP is suitable for vocals, piano, distant recording and ensembles.
