NORDIC AUDIO LABS NU-100K
NU-100K
The original Nordic Audio Labs large diaphragm multi pattern
condenser microphone. Now updated with the groundbreaking FloFET™ technology, giving it tube microphone qualities for added glow and dimension. Only without using tubes or transformers and powered by 48V phantom power. Voiced to sound great on absolutely anything at all, delivering big realism and a combination of the smoothness and richness you might look for in a ribbon microphone, and the crisp yet classy air of a great condenser microphone. Musical beauty, authority and eerie clarity on tap for literally any recording task.
Based around Martin Kantola’s proprietary D100K 30mm edge terminated capsule design, which provides extremely smooth top end superb off axis response, this microphone doesn’t just sound great out of the box on any vocal or instrument from drums to guitar amps to classical orchestras but will take eq and other processing without sounding eq’d in an astounding fashion. A true desert island microphone for absolutely any occasion that always delivers stellar, vivid and lifelike recordings that let the emotion of the performances pass through undiminished. The D100K capsule, FloFET™ technology, access to 3 polar patterns, and the forgiving frequency response combine to a very hard to beat contender for ‘if I only had one type of microphone for absolutely anything’, always delivering stunning results, whatever you put in front of it.
