Superlux S502MKII ORTF Stereo Condenser Microphone
The Superlux S502 ORTF recording microphone has earned an outstanding reputation in the professional audio industry. Building on this success, Superlux is pleased to announce a new improved version, the S502MKII.
The S502MKII features specialized diaphragm technology that provides better directivity, a lower S/ N ratio and improved total harmonic distortion.
The new Superlux S502MKII reveals more sound detail with extended high frequency response. Compared to the original S502, the new S502MKII delivers a flatter frequency response with a crystalclear, natural sound quality that captures a wide stereo field with increased depth and realism.
The Superlux S502MKII ORTF stereo microphone is a perfect choice for any professional recording or sound reinforcement application.
