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. New 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.
M-Audio—Professional Choice
M-Audio microphones deliver the same commitment to
excellence that recording pros around the world have come to trust with
our Studiophile reference monitors, Pro Tools-compatible audio
interfaces and more. M-Audio microphones bring new tonal options to the
sonic palette of even the most sophisticated mic lockers. Models like
the M-Audio Sputnik are turning the heads of top audio engineers and
press—including winning Pro Audio Review’s Reviewer’s Pick and
Electronic Musician’s prestigious Editors’ Choice Award. If you’re
serious about your sound right from the beginning of your recording
chain, then you owe it to yourself to give M-Audio microphones a listen.
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 20kHz. This makes the Pulsar II mics
ideal for stereo room miking, stereo overheads and similar applications
where balance and imaging is key.
Pulsar II—The New Classic
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 New 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 new
thermal diaphragm treatment, plus a new 10dB switchable attenuation pad.
