• The 5mm capsule with DPA CORE technology provides low noise floor and wide dynamic range for outstanding sound quality with an open an natural sound.
• Side-address mic capsule's cardioid pickup pattern captures audio from the source directly in front of the microphone and delivers consistently excellent sound quality, whether the boom is worn on the right or left side.
