Product Information
M-Audio’s Sputnik mic signals the end of microphone envy. Based on a classic vacuum tube design and manufactured in state-of-the-art facilities to exacting standards, this multi-pattern, large diaphragm studio condenser delivers the lush, classic sound normally associated with rare and expensive vintage mics like the Neumann U47 and AKG C12. Sputnik’s combination of hand-picked military-grade vacuum tube, ultrasensitive evaporated gold Mylar diaphragm, solid brass construction, and multiple polar patterns makes it ideal for a wide variety of voices, instruments, and applications—especially putting that signature sound in the spotlight. M-Audio engineered this amazing microphone from scratch with input from top recording industry studio engineers. Finally, you can get a boutique-quality microphone at a price that’s not in the stratosphere.Product Identifiers

Get two while you still can
This mic is another case of "Let's make something unbelievably cool and then quit making it." I've done actual blindfold tests with this mic in studio conditions against mics in the 8 to 12 thousand dollar range and experienced people with great ears were just as likely to choose this mic as the others. I'm not saying it is better than more expensive mics. But it certainly holds it's own in many applications.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
