・Bracket included (Shure 5/8" screw) Overview Carbon microphones were used in record recording and broadcasting until the development of dynamic microphones. They continued to be widely used for telephones and other communications until the 1980s. The discovery of converting the changes in resistance of carbon powder caused by sound pressure into an electrical signal can be traced back to Edison's invention. The RU-80 offers a warm, natural, and distorted sound reminiscent of old analog records and military broadcast/PA equipment. It is studio-grade, powered by 48V phantom power and equipped with a fully balanced output using a high-quality Hammond transformer. Add this microphone to your collection for use as an effects microphone, mixing it with the main microphone or for special effects recordings.
