Violet Design Wedge
Designed as wide application high quality studio microphone. The Wedge uses new compacted large size true electrostatic single diaphragm cardioid capsule, providing high output and full audio spectrum of sound. Transducer capsule is internally damped from vibrations and resonances. Acoustic open long double mesh head provides new level of sound transparence and naturalness. The optional original construction double cone metal mesh external studio pop filter effectively protects diaphragm from plosive sounds, breath and pop noise using microphone on vocals and speech. The Wedge comes with stand holder, but is ready for three different construction optional studio shock mounts for additional protection from external subsonic interference.
