B-2 features a pressure gradient, dual-diaphragm capsule that delivers a transparent 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response while handling with an SPL rating of 135dB. The B-2 also gives you a switchable -10dB attenuator to capture high-volume signal sources without distorting, as well as a low-cut filter to eliminate infrasonics caused by floor rumble and other turbulence. A Low-frequency roll-off switch minimizes low-end noise at 150Hz.
Ideal as main and support microphone for studio and live applications, perfect for acoustic instruments and overhead etc.
