Static Microphone

The Manley Reference Cardioid is a large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone with a cardioid pick-up pattern. The Reference Cardioid uses the same electronics as the Gold Reference series, but with a uniquely cardioid, centre-positioned capsule and a thicker (6 micron) gold-particle sputtered diaphragm. Surprisingly transparent, it's a first-choice microphone for demanding engineers and producers who want to record wide-ranging vocals and instruments with audiophile-quality sound. Its nuanced, silky results extend far beyond human hearing. The midrange is warm and clear, and the bass is powerful and punchy, whatever the source. The Manley Reference Cardio is supplied in a carrying case with its power supply, suspension and cable.

Since its release in the 90s, the Reference Cardioid has become a standard, thanks to the presence and character it lends to pop, rock, rap and R&B vocals, as well as voice-overs. It's also ideal for capturing big drum sounds when placed on toms or overhead.

When it comes to microphones, there's a certain chemistry that goes beyond specification. For the Reference Cardio, Manley has drawn on its considerable expertise in tube circuitry to design a mic that is reminiscent of some highly coveted European tube mics.

With its sumptuous tonal balance and smooth midrange, the Reference Cardioid is a mic that enhances any source. It is one of the microphones favoured by Sonovente technicians.
