A versatile condenser microphone with three different polar pattern options.

The Sterling ST79 Dual-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone is designed around a Class-A discrete FET mic amp specially chosen to match its large dual-diaphragm capsule. Because it's a dual-diaphragm, the ST-79 can offer 3 different pickup patterns: Omni-directional, Cardioid and Figure-8, providing complete mic placement freedom. The capsule itself has been sized and tuned to provide a silky and airy top end with a full, warm mid-range reminiscent of vintage microphones. Hand selected internal components create a sound that enhances both vocal and instrument performances.
