Kel Audio announces Song Sparrow Microphone

Kel Audio has announced the Song Sparrow, a new studio-grade condenser microphone tailored for modern vocal recording.

The Song Sparrow is built with premium electronics and sticks with the Kel philosophy of using simple designs coupled with high quality parts, in order to keep the mic affordable. The mic features a one-inch side-terminated cardioid capsule with an open airy top end response. The circuitry is designed to offer high headroom and good transient response for maximum vocal clarity and presence and avoids the use of inexpensive tubes or transformers which can add edgy distortion.

Specifications:

• Element: 1" Side-terminated condenser capsule
• Polar Pattern: "Cardioid"
• Frequency Response: 20Hz-20kHz
• Sensitivity: -38+/-2dB (0dB=1V/Pa at 1kHz)
• Output Impedance: 55 Ohms +/-30% (at 1kHz)
• Equivalent Noise Level: <14dB A
• S/N Ratio: 80dB
• Max. Input SPL: 132dB (at 1kHz=1% T.H.D)
• Body Dimensions: 48x178mm

The mic is expected to ship in early April and retail for $349 USD. Customers may pre-order and reserve the mic at a $50 discount.
