Pulsar II - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

M-Audio brought us something special with the Sputnik, so the Pulsar II has been keenly awaited. Huw Price dons a small cap.

Price: £129.00
Manufacturer: M-Audio
Website: http://www.maudio.co.uk

As part of M-Audio’s ongoing drive to revamp its range of recording microphones, the company has upgraded its Pulsar small-capsule condenser mic and created the Pulsar II. This time, however, particular attention has been paid to the cardioid capsule, with the company developing a 3/4-inch, 6-micron Mylar evaporated-gold diaphragm to deliver high sensitivity, especially in the higher frequencies.

Score: 9
