The Black Knight

Applications • Specifications • Accessories • Additional Images

"The Black Knight" uses a large dual-diaphragm, side-terminated, condenser capsule. It possesses a natural musical sound with transparent highs, smooth midrange with a subtle vocal presence bump at 3kHz, flat low-frequency response and a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern. The acoustically open transducer head minimizes internal resonances and reflections so that even the most minute sound details are authentically captured. An integrated swivel-mount allows for fast and handy positioning of the transducer head. The internal phantom powered preamplifier’s Class 'A' fully discrete transformerless circuit provides very high output, flat audio-response and ultra-low distortion and noise. Gold-plated contacts on the output connector provide a noise-free connection.

"The Black Knight" microphone is also available in matched stereo or surround sets as a special order.

 

Applications:

"The Black Knight" microphone has a very detailed and uncolored sound. It is perfect for overheads, acoustic guitar and many other instruments as well as vocal applications. The swivel mount head allows for easy minor re-positioning, without adjusting the stand. It is an excellent solution for broadcast studios, film and video production, sound reinforcement and other professional applications. It has a very open, single layer head grill so use of a pop-filter or foam windscreen is recommended when working the microphone closely.
