SWAUDIO V76 — a modular studio microphone

SWAUDIO has announced its flagship microphone for precise recording of overheads, percussion, hi-hats and acoustic instruments, both on stage and in the studio.

The model's main feature is the integration of advanced circuitry from SWAUDIO's discrete preamplifiers directly inside the microphone body. An analogue stage provides clean, wide-band +10 dB gain immediately after the capsule. Total harmonic distortion stays at thousandths of a percent. The signal path has a bandwidth of up to 350 kHz and a level capability of up to 4 V peak-to-peak. This preserves strong attacks, small dynamic changes and fine decay details without phase artefacts.

The microphone uses photovoltaic optocouplers to produce a fully isolated, stable capsule polarisation voltage. Its modular design includes three compact, quick-change capsules with low capacitance of 58–59 pF. These provide cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional patterns. Sensitivity ranges from 34 to 46 mV/Pa, depending on the capsule.

The microphone is available to pre-order as a starter set with one cardioid capsule or as a full set with cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional capsules. More information is available on the official website SWAUDIO.
