The redesigned Pulsar™ II small-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone takes M-Audio’s pencil condenser technology to an even higher level. Designed in the U.S.A. by veteran engineers and hand-assembled to exacting standards, this precision microphone exhibits quality comparable to that of vintage classics. Features like -10dB pad and 80Hz high-pass filter switches, higher SPL than the original and a redesigned solid-brass backplate deliver smooth, accurate sound in the studio and on stage. The Pulsar II has many applications, including drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, close-miking strings and woodwinds, room miking and more.
Singles or Matched Sets
The Pulsar II is available individually or as a matched set with only ±1dB tolerance from the excellent published frequency response curves—which extend from 20Hz to 20 kHz. This makes the Pulsar II mics ideal for stereo room miking, stereo overheads and similar applications where balance and imaging is key.
Pulsar II
Designed in the U.S.A. by veteran engineers and hand-assembled to exacting standards, these precision instruments exhibit quality that is regularly compared to that of vintage classics. In fact, many top Los Angeles session engineers have likened the Pulsar II to the Neumann KM84—and its replacement KM184—only with more open top end similar to Schoeps.
Flexible Features
The Pulsar II can adapt to many recording and live situations. The 12dB/octave high-pass filter reduces low-frequency rumble and the potential for overloading mic preamps with low-frequency signals. The Pulsar II also handles higher SPLs—an overall 2dB boost thanks to a thermal diaphragm treatment, plus a 10dB switchable attenuation pad.
