Instrument Microphones

The award-winning d:vote™ series is designed with a
supercardioid polar pattern for high rejection and superior
gain-before-feedback. These mics retain a highly uniform
o-axis frequency response and also feature an enhanced
shock mount design. The d:vote™ series is very adaptable,
due to the wide selection of ingenious mounting options
oered. In fact, the same microphone can be used with
10 dierent clips, allowing it to be used on almost any
instrument. The correct variant to use depends on the
type of instrument the microphone is being used on.
