A REFERENCE THAT HAS BECOME ESSENTIAL! THE ST-1 MK2 LANEN, DESIGNED ON THE BASIS OF THE STC-3D MK2, IS ONE OF THE ONLY CONDENSER MICROPHONES ON THE MARKET, EQUIPPED WITH A REAL 34MM LARGE DIAPHRAGM CAPSULE, WITH A GOLD-PLATED ONE-INCH DIAPHRAGM, IN THIS PRICE RANGE. ALMOST ALL OF THE OTHER BRANDS SPEAK OF A LARGE MEMBRANE, FOR CAPSULES FROM 16 TO 19MM AND THE DIFFERENCE IS SIGNIFICANT! UNLIKE « ENTRY-LEVEL » PRODUCTS, WHICH ARE OFTEN TOO COLD AND TOO BRIGHT, WITH LESS FULL SOUND IN THE BASS AND LOWER MIDRANGE, THE ST-1 MK2 LANEN PERFECTLY REPRODUCES THE DEFINITION AND WARMTH OF THE RECORDED SOURCE.
