The last microphone
you'll ever buy.
A 34mm gold-sputtered capsule, machined from a single billet of aerospace aluminium. Hand-assembled. Individually calibrated.

Scroll to take the MK1 apart. Every component is machined, measured, and matched in-house.
A hand-tensioned 3-micron diaphragm, gold-sputtered for a fast, airy top end with no harshness.
A triple-layer mesh that tames internal reflections and softens plosives before they reach the capsule.
Cut from one block. No seams, minimal resonance, and a low noise floor under gain.
A custom-wound output transformer adding weight in the low-mids and a smooth midrange.
The MK1 comes apart into five matched components, each machined, measured, and calibrated in-house.
Hand-tensioned 3-micron diaphragm. Fast, airy top end with an even, un-hyped character.
Triple-layer mesh; tames internal reflections and softens plosives before the capsule.
One block, no seams, low resonance and a low noise floor under gain.
Custom-wound; weight in the low-mids, an effortless midrange.
An internal decoupling ring isolates the capsule from handling and stand-borne rumble.
A microphone should stay out of the way. The MK1 aims to capture a voice close to how the room actually heard it.
Roughly 20Hz–20kHz. Extended lows and a present, un-hyped air band.
Self-noise around 7µV (A-weighted) — the room, not the mic, sets the floor.
Every MK1 is individually calibrated and serialised. Buy a pair and they stay closely matched.
It starts as a 2.4kg billet of aerospace aluminium and ends as a 380g instrument. Forty-one operations. One serial number.
The body is milled from one block — no welds, no resonant seams, low resonance up to 140dB SPL.
The capsule is hand-tensioned and aged for 72 hours before it ever sees a signal.
Measured against a laboratory reference, trimmed to ±0.5dB, and serialised for life.
The fast top end sits a voice forward with very little sibilance or edge.
Transformer weight and a quiet floor capture the body of an instrument intact.
Calibrated consistency: today's take stays close to one recorded a year ago.
First production run is limited to 500 serialised units.
