MANLEY Reference Cardioid black
The Reference Cardioid Microphone shares the same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series, but has a fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm. Reminiscent of the beloved U47, C12, and ELA-M 251 variants, consistently admired when used for vocals, guitars, and other instruments most often recorded in fairly close proximity in today's studio tracking and overdub assignments.
