Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What microphone types is this 16mm condenser capsule compatible with?
A: This 16mm single-directional diaphragm capsule is designed to fit a wide range of standard condenser microphones that use a 16mm cartridge format, including many studio condenser and lavalier-style microphone bodies. Always verify the capsule diameter and mounting style of your specific microphone before purchasing.
Q: Is this capsule suitable for studio recording and live use?
A: Yes — the high-fidelity condenser capsule is well-suited for both studio recording and live performance applications. Its cardioid (single-directional) pickup pattern focuses on the sound directly in front while reducing unwanted ambient noise, making it ideal for vocals, instruments, and broadcast use.
Q: Does this capsule require phantom power or a battery?
A: As a condenser microphone capsule, it typically requires phantom power supplied by your audio interface, mixer, or microphone body — no built-in battery is included or required in the capsule itself. Check your microphone's specifications to confirm phantom power compatibility.
Q: Is this a complete microphone or just a replacement part?
A: This is a replacement capsule/cartridge core only — not a complete microphone. It is intended as a spare part for repairing or upgrading an existing condenser microphone body, or for use in DIY microphone projects.
