Pearl ELM-B Large-Diaphragm Figure-8 Condenser Microphone

Linear Rectangular Capsule for Precise Sound Control

The Pearl ELM-B is a large-diaphragm figure-8 condenser microphone featuring a linear rectangular capsule design. Inspired by line source loudspeakers, this unique capsule offers distinct advantages in recording applications.

Line Source Capsule

Similar to line source loudspeakers, the Pearl linear microphone capsule provides a wide horizontal sound pickup while maintaining a narrower vertical pattern. This feature minimizes unwanted resonances from floor and ceiling reflections, making it an ideal choice when you want to capture a broad field of sound with minimal interference.

Vertical Sound Control

By simply turning the ELM-B 90 degrees, you can selectively cut out a vertical portion of sound. This capability is handy for recording specific sound sources while minimizing surrounding noise.

Versatile Stereo Recording

The ELM-B can be used in an MS stereo setup when paired with a cardioid microphone, or as a pair for creating a Blumlein stereo setup, offering versatility in stereo recording techniques.

Elegant Design

Finished in piano black ED lacquer with a distinctive red logo, ring, and engraved model number, the ELM-B combines excellent sound performance with a stylish appearance.
