Pearl Microphone Labs ELM-C Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone (Matched Pair)

Well suited to a wide range of stereo recording applications, this matched pair of ELM-C mics from Pearl Microphone Labs features two large-diaphragm condenser microphones with cardioid polar patterns designed for professional studio recording. At the heart of the ELM-C lies the rubber-fitted ELM capsule, a unique 7:1 rectangular condenser capsule that offers an extremely smooth off-axis response, detailed sound capture, and very-low self noise. 

The 7:1 length/width ratio of the capsule means that the polar pattern of the capsule functions like a standard cardioid in the horizontal plane, while vastly reducing the high frequencies, arriving from the vertical plane above and below the mic, a property that can be extremely useful for minimizing unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling, providing the audio engineer with a valuable tool to handle poor room acoustics and challenging acoustical environments. This unusually narrow horizontal plane makes the ELM-C an excellent choice for choirs, drum overheads, vocals, instruments, string orchestras, symphonies, and ensembles.

Each mic features a gold-plated XLR connector and requires 48V phantom power for operation. A pair of rubber shockmounts and a wooden case are included.
