The D-269c Tube Microphone Kit is an authentic reproduction of the legendary M269c, a large-diaphragm, multi-pattern tube condenser microphone originally designed for the German broadcast market. Based on the famous U-67, this version swaps the EF86 for the AC701 (AC701k) Triode vacuum tube, delivering the same pristine, rich sound with a slightly different character. Ideal for capturing a wide range of sound sources with unparalleled accuracy, the M269c is revered for its warmth, clarity, and versatility in both studio and broadcast environments.
This kit offers pattern switching capabilities with remote control via the power supply switch, allowing you to effortlessly control the pickup pattern between Omni, Cardioid, and Figure-8. The “F” (remote control) switch position replaces the traditional Omni and Figure-8 settings, enabling pattern adjustments directly via the PSU.
