Ohma WorldMotif Condenser Microphone Black & Black
1/4
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Motif is a cardioid condenser microphone that runs on +48 V phantom power and connects via XLR-3. Its installed Motif screen gives the mic its balanced, polished voicing; other Ohma World screen sets can be exchanged to alter both tone and appearance. The signal path combines a hand-tuned capsule with a Cinemag transformer and FET circuitry. With a 20 Hz–20 kHz response and 117 dB SPL maximum, it is positioned for recording vocals, instruments, voiceovers, streaming, and podcast work.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals, instruments, or voiceovers with a cardioid condenser microphone.
- Changing microphone tone and appearance through compatible Ohma World screen sets.
- Podcasting or live streaming with an XLR microphone and phantom-powered input.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Setups without +48 V phantom power.
- Audio connections that do not provide an XLR microphone input.
