SL

LARGE-DIAPHRAGM STUDIO CONDENSER MICROPHONE

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR PURCHASE

Congratulations on your purchase of the Baby Bottle SL, a classic microphone made the old-fashioned way,
without compromise. Following in the footsteps of our flagship Bottle mic system, the solid-state class A Baby
Bottle SL microphone is truly a chip off the old block.

In order to familiarize yourself with this microphone’s specialized and unique features, please take the time to
read this manual. And be sure to try the suggested recording tips. With proper care and feeding, the Baby Bottle
SL will reward you with many years of recording enjoyment.

Baby Bottle SL is a pressure gradient cardioid condenser microphone that delivers classic sound and incredible
versatility. With a richly present midrange, smooth top end, and neutral bottom, Baby Bottle SL is reminiscent of
the world’s finest vintage microphones. Featuring a -20dB pad and 100Hz high-pass filter, Baby Bottle SL excels
at adding a rich, classic vibe to nearly any sound source—including vocals, drums, electric guitar amps, and even
difficult brass instruments like saxophones and horns. We just don’t recommend it for feeding.

The Baby Bottle SL includes a custom shockmount designed to isolate the microphone body from low frequency
resonance (rumble).
