The Nordic Audio Labs NU-314K is a condenser microphone that takes a unique approach, harking back to the origins of condenser microphone design. It delves deep into the inherent characteristics of the widely popular large diaphragm capsule, reimagining it as a genuine pressure transducer.
What sets the NU-314K apart is its inventive capsule design and the fact that it has yet to be attempted in the history of microphone craftsmanship.
The result is a microphone with extraordinary qualities—a coveted and naturally occurring high-frequency boost and an intense focus. It also excels in capturing transients and intricate details, often surpassing the performance of many small diaphragm condenser microphones.
This microphone is the clear choice for any stereo or Decca tree setup where the utmost resolution, musical beauty, reliability, and minimal self-noise are paramount. However, its versatility extends far beyond, encompassing a wide range of applications typical of any large diaphragm condenser microphone. This includes intimate vocal and instrument recordings in close proximity.
The NU-314K is available individually or as a meticulously matched pair or trio, and in exceptional cases, even as a set of 5-6 microphones, all with supermatched capsules.
