The Aspen Pittman Designs AP 1B-FET is your first-class ticket to rich, classic-sounding recordings. This cardioid FET microphone boasts premium components, including a vintage-style capsule and gold-evaporated Mylar diaphragm, yielding incredible warmth, depth, and detail. Beyond that, a custom-wound output transformer enhances the powerful punch captured by this mic’s large, all-brass capsule. While the AP 1B-FET’s ability to handle fast transients makes it a first-class vocal microphone, its tight, controlled low-end response also works wonders on kick drums.
