{"product_id":"dc-196-anniversary","title":"DC-196 ANNIVERSARY","description":"Milab \u003cstrong\u003eDC-196 Anniversary Edition \u003c\/strong\u003eis a compact and versatile studio microphone with different polar patterns, low self-noise and excellent SPL handling. This DC-196 80th Anniversary Edition highlights the 80th anniversary of Pearl and Milab (1941-2021) and is coated in a beautiful red Nextel finish. All other attributes are identical to the more discreet, black DC-196. The DC-196 is a versatile studio tool built around Milab’s rectangular capsule (the 2900). It offers low noise, selectable patterns (cardioid, omni, bidirectional), excellent SPL handling and an extremely smooth off-axis response – all in a very compact format. In fact, the DC-196 is one of the smallest large-diaphragm microphones ever produced. Hand-crafted in Sweden, DC-196 shines on transient-rich sources like acoustic instruments and, thanks to the unique properties of the rectangular capsule, it excels in recording situations where a smooth off-axis response is crucial. This includes string ensembles and choirs, but also stereo setups like X\/Y and Blumlein where large-diaphragm microphones are often avoided.","brand":"Milab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46250776756395,"sku":"MIL-DC-196-ANNIV","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/8852\/5483\/files\/MILAB_dc-196-anniversary_01_e1d3713e-ce86-4977-b2df-01047babcabc.webp?v=1773789464","url":"https:\/\/factorysound.com\/products\/dc-196-anniversary","provider":"Factory Sound","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
