• Milab DC-196 80th Anniversary Edition Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

  

  The Milab DC-196 80th Anniversary Edition Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone highlights the 80th anniversary of Pearl and Milab (1941-2021) and is coated in a beautiful red Nextel finish which gives it a bit more attitude than the more discreet black DC-196.

  The DC-196 80th Anniversary Edition is a versatile power tool built around the latest version of Milab’s rectangular capsule (the 2900). It offers low noise, selectable patterns (cardioid, omni, bidirectional), excellent SPL handling and an extremely smooth off-axis response – all in a very compact format.

  In fact, the Milab DC-196 80th Anniversary Edition is one of the smallest large-diaphragm microphones ever produced. It shines on transient-rich sources like acoustic instruments and, thanks to the unique properties of the rectangular capsule, it excels in recording situations where a smooth off-axis response is crucial, such as string ensembles and choirs, but also stereo setups like X/Y and Blumlein where large-diaphragm microphones are usually avoided.

  A matched pair of DC-196’s will fulfil the needs of even the most demanding recording engineers. Package includes: 3227 shockmount, 3403 windscreen and an individual frequency graph.
