Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Matched pair of large-diaphragm multi-pattern condensers for studio stereo work. For engineers recording drum overheads, room, piano, or acoustic ensembles.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Stereo drum overheads and room mics where channel matching matters
- Piano, harp and acoustic ensemble recording in a treated room
- Mid-side or Blumlein setups needing switchable polar patterns
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Live vocalists — large-diaphragm condensers pick up too much stage bleed
- Anyone needing one mic; you're paying for the matched pair
- Rooms with no acoustic treatment; condensers capture the space too
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Large diaphragm
Warmer, fuller low end and lower self-noise than a small-diaphragm pencil condenser on the same source.
Detail 03
Multi-pattern
Switch between pickup patterns to reject the room, capture it, or set up mid-side and Blumlein arrays.
Detail 04
Condenser design
Needs 48V phantom power from your interface or preamp; it won't work on a passive input.
Detail 05
Sold as a pair at this price
Cost is for two mics, so per-channel it lands well below the sticker figure.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Requires 48V phantom power on two channels — check your interface
- 02Stands, shockmounts and XLR cables are separate purchases unless bundled
- 03Room sound gets recorded too; treat the space before blaming the mics
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do these need phantom power?
Yes. They're condensers, so each needs 48V phantom power from your interface, preamp or console.
02Is this one microphone or two?
Two. It's a matched pair, selected so the capsules track each other for stereo recording.
03What polar patterns can I use?
They're multi-pattern mics, so you can switch the pickup pattern to suit the source and room.
04Can I use these for live vocals?
They're built for studio use. Large-diaphragm condensers pick up a lot of stage bleed and feed back easily.
