It features a 1-inch gold-evaporated capsule, built-in pop filter, and integrated stand mounting, making it excellent for vocals and acoustic instruments
Design & Durability: The microphone features a tumbled stainless steel chassis with a "wave-form" mesh head that acts as a shock absorber, returning to its shape if knocked.
Built-in Pop Filter: The mesh head incorporates stainless steel knit technology to filter plosives, which is removable and washable.
Sound Profile: Designed for a direct, smooth, and intimate sound, the Origin is often praised for its "transparent" and "ear-tickling" quality on vocals and guitars.
Capsule and Electronics: It utilizes a 1-inch gold evaporated capsule and high-end transformerless circuitry.
Functionality: Includes a -10 dB pad switch for loud sources and an 80 Hz low-cut (high-pass) filter to reduce rumble.
