Large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone with a fixed Cardioid polar pattern. The mic uses a single 1-inch (large diaphragm) capsule with 3 micron diaphragm material. The circuitry is a transformer-coupled FET design. Two switches on the front of the mic independently enable a high-pass filter (200Hz) and a -10dB pad. These switches distinguish the CMH8B from the CMH8A, which is otherwise identical. A dual-layer mesh protects the capsule. The aluminum body has a “champagne silver” finish.
