The 1” brass dual-diaphragm capsule is engineered to consistently reproduce every element of your performance with remarkable accuracy and exceptional low-frequency control. Patent-Pending Interference Shielding Technology blocks unwanted RF noise from wireless devices including cellphones, laptops and wi-fi routers, while the internal pop filter minimizes plosives. A sleek, low-profile design with all-metal construction delivers the perfect upgrade for your home studio.

How It Works

Patent-Pending Interference Shielding Technology blocks unwanted RF noise from common wireless devices including cell phones, laptops, and wi-fi routers. The proprietary system features an integrated pop-filter and woven mesh faraday cage that shields the microphone capsule for clean audio capture.

Mix-Ready Audio

All elements of this microphone were meticulously designed and manufactured to work together seamlessly, helping bring forward the details you want in the recording process while leaving problems behind.  Compress or EQ to taste without bringing forward unwanted elements that can plague recordings and mixes. 

Dual-Diaphragm Capsule

The 1" brass dual-diaphragm capsule is engineered to reduce proximity effect, resulting in recordings that consistently reproduce every element of your vocal performance with both remarkable accuracy and exceptional low-frequency control.

Internal & External Pop Filter

Included with the SM4 Home Recording Kit and available separately, the shock mount and detachable pop filter dampen undesired noises including rumbles, vibrations and plosive “pop” sounds. When combined with the internal pop filter of the microphone, the detachable pop filter creates a two-stage filtering system that dramatically increases the resistance of plosives for easier post-production work.
