Supercardiod Ribbon Microphone
The KU5A is an end-address, phantom-powered, supercardioid ribbon microphone. It is equipped with active circuitry and a custom transformer optimized for all preamps. The reduced rear-lobe of the supercardioid pattern lends to greater rejection of ambient noise and other sound from behind. Sources within 3 inches of the KU5A will benefit from the warm tonality of its proximity effect, and it can handle 135 dB SPL at 1kHz. The KU5A's integrated electronic high-pass filter smoothly rolls off low end with a 6dB/octave at 283Hz. It's supremely durable in close range, outdoor, and live applications and can handle direct blasts of air from loud singers and other instruments that move air.
Product Features/Specifications:
Supercardioid polar response effectively reduces ambience in any environment
End-address for simple placement in front of instruments and vocalists
High pass filter can be engaged to reduce the proximity effect of close miking
