Our unique d:dicate dual-diaphragm omnidirectional capsule is at the heart of these fantastic microphones. This capsule gives the microphone its distinctive, well-balanced sound and bridges the gap between the exceptional sound quality of the d:dicate recording microphone series and our well-known d:screet miniature microphone series.Two miniature capsules facing each other are used in this microphone. Arranged as a double diaphragm, they form a capsule unit. This combines the advantages of small capsules with the lower inherent noise of a larger diaphragm surface. These capsules offer a fast impulse response and a wide frequency bandwidth. The capsules are combined with the preamplifiers of the outstanding d:dicate microphone series, which gives the sound more airiness and precision.

The Beta 181 is a very compact small diaphragm condenser microphone with interchangeable capsules. It is extremely flexible in use and enables unobtrusive, very close placement on a wide variety of instruments.
This condenser microphone is highly regarded as an exceptional microphone in recording studios and live performances worldwide. A careful selection of state-of-the-art components ensures optimum neutrality, accuracy and extremely low distortion.The main features of the d:dicate 4011 cardioid microphone are its directionality and attention to detail. With this microphone, everything simply sounds like the original. The first-order cardioid characteristic provides excellent separation between sound sources. It is equally suitable for close miking of acoustic guitar, piano, overheads, percussion, wind instruments and vocals as it is for direct miking of symphonies. It is designed for incredibly high sound pressure levels (SPL).A linear on-axis frequency response and excellent phase behaviour deliver faithful sound reproduction. The off-axis frequency response is similarly smooth, so that any interferences are faithfully reproduced, albeit attenuated in accordance with the first-order cardioid characteristic.
The audio-technica Pro 37R has been an affordable insider tip for recording acoustic guitars, pianos, wind instruments, etc. and also as a drum overhead for some time now. Its ultra-light and sound pressure-resistant diaphragm responds particularly well in the presence and treble range, which favours a natural, open sound image.
The NT 3 has a modern design. Designed for studio, stage and all cases where the brilliance and fullness of a condenser microphone is required, but other condenser microphones can no longer be used due to their mechanical sensitivity. The NT 3 is made from only the best components to meet the high demands of sound engineers and musicians. Battery or phantom power and a low-noise output stage guarantee a wide range of applications.
Neumann KM 184 has a very flat frequency response both on the 0-axis and at lateral sound incidence. Therefore, in practice, large recording angles can be transmitted without discolouration. The KM 183 and KM 184 microphones are the successors to the tried and tested KM 83 and KM 84, which have been used with great success worldwide since the 1970s. The KM 185 adds the hypercardioid characteristic to the series. The slim design and excellent transmission characteristics in particular make the "Series 180" microphones ideal for a wide range of radio and television applications.
RØDE has worked closely with classical music legend Tony Faulkner to develop a truly exceptional small diaphragm microphone: the TF-5. Manufactured in Sydney and available exclusively as a hand-selected stereo pair, the TF-5 with its completely newly developed 1/2" cardioid capsule delivers a breathtakingly natural and musical sound. With an equivalent noise level of only 14 dBA and a high sensitivity of 35 mV, the TF-5 also allows recordings of extremely quiet passages. Both of these features were desired by Tony Faulkner and qualify the TF-5 especially - but not only - for recordings of classical instruments. Over the course of his long career, English sound engineer Tony Faulkner has engineered well over 5000 classical productions and received numerous Grammy nominations and awards. Faulkner is not only recognised worldwide for his highly acclaimed recordings, but is also regarded as a true pioneer in this field due to his innovative recording techniques and microphone design. The condenser microphones, which are just under 10 cm long, have an elegant, matt black metal housing with a scratch-resistant coating. The set includes two stand clamps, two windshields and RØDE's practical SB20 stereo bar, which, with its multiple scaling, allows precise and unproblematic XY, ORTF and small AB setups.

The new sE8 is a high-quality small diaphragm microphone with outstanding sound characteristics. The elaborately manufactured electrode enables a very balanced and particularly natural transmission of instruments of all kinds. This also allows the intensive use of EQs or filters without making the recording unpleasant. With the highest dynamic range and the highest overload resistance in its class as well as the practical, switchable attenuation and high-pass filters, the sE8 offers unbeatable flexibility for every application in the studio and on stage.Handmade small diaphragm capsule:Each capsule is handcrafted and customised in the sE factory with great attention to detail. The wafer-thin, gold-vapour-plated diaphragm offers impressive transient reproduction and captures even the smallest details. The precision-crafted electrode has been optimised for maximum linearity and natural reproduction, resulting in a very smooth, balanced frequency response.Precise, direction-independent polar pattern:Thanks to the sophisticated acoustic design with precision parts, the directional characteristic is largely independent of direction. This prevents sound colouration, especially in demanding recordings.The lowest-noise small diaphragm microphone in its class:The extremely short signal path, the discrete components and the optimised Class A circuitry make the sE8 one of the lowest-noise microphones on the market - and by far the quietest microphone in its class. The outstanding transparency, the enormous dynamic range and the very low distortion are due to an innovative circuit concept with a transformerless output stage.Attenuation filter with two stages:High flexibility and an extended dynamic range are achieved by the attenuation filter. The two stages prevent clipping of the electronics and the connected microphone preamp or audio interface right at the start of the signal chain. This means that even very loud instruments such as brass instruments and snares can be miked without any problems, even in the near field.Two-stage high-pass filter:The integrated high-pass filter can be switched between 80Hz and 160Hz to attenuate unwanted rumble and footstep noises as well as the bass boost caused by near-field miking (proximity effect).Robust metal housing and high-quality surfaces:The sophisticated design is particularly durable and effectively shields the electronics from electromagnetic interference.Gold-plated XLR plug:The corrosion-free contacts enable loss-free and reliable transmission for many years.Accessories supplied:The sE8 is supplied with a windscreen, a tripod adapter and a threaded adapter.
This true condenser microphone is characterised by enormous versatility thanks to its tonal neutrality and careful design. The features of the MC 950 include a wide frequency range of 40 - 20,000 Hz and a signal-to-noise ratio of 72 dB.The MC 950 is ideally suited as a main and support microphone for miking choirs, pianos, organs, orchestras and most solo instruments. Thanks to the switchable pre-attenuation of 15 dB, it is also ideally suited for use at very high sound levels. The switchable 6 dB/octave attenuation below 250 Hz compensates for the proximity effect.Together with the WS101 windscreen, the MC 950 can be used as a microphone for speech and vocals. The MC 950 works with phantom power from 11 - 52 V and can therefore be used with almost any microphone preamplifier in studio and live applications as well as in installations. Thanks to its largely frequency-independent supercardioid characteristic, the MC 950 has excellent directivity combined with high rear cancellation. This not only makes it a first-class tool in the studio, but also enables it to be used in sound reinforcement applications where excellent sound and maximum feedback immunity are required.
The HD 25 is a dynamic headphone with a closed design, i.e. ambient noise is shielded better than with an open design. These robust headphones are therefore particularly suitable for listening to music and speech in noisy environments, e.g. for monitoring PA systems, for use in outside broadcasting or for studio monitoring.
