JZ Black Hole BH-3
To improve the series of Black Hole microphones and provide wider choice for customers, JZ decided to launch the third version of Black Hole which is fixed cardioid polar pattern with a pad of -5db and -10db.
JZ BH-3
The new microphone under the name Black Hole PE (BH-3) has a fixed cardioid polar pattern. After numerous requests from real life engineers, a -5db and -10db pad has been added. The pad is used to avoid overloading mic preamps with high output mic signals such as when recording loud guitar amplifiers or cabinets and kick drums. The capsule of the Black Hole can handle 135db SPL and this mic can manage also an operatic soprano at close range.
