Cardioid polar pattern: The microphone is most sensitive to sounds arriving from in front of it while picking up much less of sounds arriving from the sides or rear (from monitor speakers or neighboring instruments). This makes the microphone equally suited for recording and onstage use.

Gold-sputtered diaphragm: The diaphragm is made of a plastic foil that

is gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent shorting to the back

electrode even at extremely high sound pressure levels.

All-metal body: The all-metal body adds to the rejection of RF

interference so you can use the microphone near transmitter stations and

along with wireless microphones or other communications equipment.

The extremely rugged, heavy body and sturdy front grill protect the

microphone from damage from tough handling on stage.

High headroom, minimum distortion: Capable of handling sound

pressure levels up to 150 dB (P120) or 155 dB (P220) without

introducing perceptible distortion and built to resist high temperatures

and humidity, the microphone will give excellent results in a wide range of

applications.

 Bass cut filter: Selector 1 on the microphone front further reduces low-end distortion caused by

Footfall or wind noise, etc. The filter also minimizes the proximity effect that close-in miking from less than 4 inches causes in any unidirectional microphone. The filter rolls off at 6 dB/octave

(P120) or at 12 dB/octave (P220) from 300 Hz downward.

Switchable preattenuation pad: Selector 2 on the microphone front lets you increase the headroom by 20 dB for distortion free close-in recording. The preattenuation pad prevents the microphone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from overloading the miniature transformers used in many mixer input stages, etc.
