C4LSD2
The C4 is small diaphragm condenser microphone featuring interchangeable The LSD-2 is a stereo microphone comprised of two separate dual-membrane solid
capsules, selectable 10dB/20dB pad, high pass filter with 75Hz & 150Hz state microphones contained within a single housing. Its capsules are mounted in
