Based on a classic vacuum tube design and manufactured in state of the art facilities to exacting standards, this multi pattern, large diaphragm studio condenser delivers the lush, classic sound normally associated with rare and expensive vintage mics like the U47 and C12. Sputniks combination of a hand picked military grade vacuum tube, ultrasensitive evaporated gold Mylar diaphragm, solid brass construction, and multiple polar patterns makes it ideal for a wide variety of voices, instruments, and applications. Signature Sound Great sounding vocals and other acoustic tracks start with the microphone itself. Building on years of expertise, our engineering team conducted exhaustive research into this phenomenon and established just what gives the top high end studio condensers their ineffable qualities. Then they distilled the best characteristics of these classic vacuum tube designs into one extraordinary mic with M Audios trademark value pricing. In fact many listening test participants feel that the Sputnik mic exhibits the praised throaty lows and low mids of the Neumann U47 along with the upper mids and open airy highs of the AKG C12 making it ideal for faithfully capturing a wide variety of sources including male and female vocals. Built for the Pros When tweaking the Sputnik mics capsule and circuitry, we worked closely with top L.A. recording engineers and producers to make sure we hit the proverbial nail squarely on the head. These are professionals who have some of the worlds finest vintage mics at their disposal. And in final side by side listening tests, these same pros agreed that Sputnik performed flawlessly for the most critical recording situations. More Than Just a Great Vocal Mic Many microphones are best used for specific applications which is why most engineers have a more than modest investment in a locker full of mics. We spent many engineering hours working to insure that Sputnik would provide excellent results in a wide variety of situations Vocals have that signature sound. Saxophones are both throaty and silky. Pianos and acoustic guitar are clear and full bodied. Brass an
