The multi-pattern Apex480 is a true FET microphone design. Unlike standard solid-state microphone circuitry, the FETs (Field Effect Transistors) used the Apex480's signal path deliver incredible clarity with an extremely wide dynamic range. The FET design offers the unique ability to create a very musical sounding 'soft clip' with a smooth output and rich harmonic content, much like that of a tube microphone.
The Apex480's FET design is rugged enough for live stage or remote recording applications where a tube microphone may be too fragile or cumbersome to use. Unlike a typical tube microphone design, the Apex480 will operate with a standard phantom power source, without a bulky external power supply or proprietary multi-pin microphone cable, yet deliver an almost tube-like presence and warmth. There the FET design shines is its higher signal to noise ratio with a lower inherent noise floor than its tube counterpart - making it an ideal microphone for recording critical tracks like solo vocals.
