• Unidyne III Dynamic Capsule & Contoured Presence Rise: Utilizes a moving-coil transducer tuned with a natural upper-midrange presence boost that brings out instrument attack and vocal articulation without harshness.
• Pneumatic Shock-Mount System: Isolates the internal cartridge from mechanical vibrations, stand bumps, and drum hardware resonance to eliminate low-end handling rumble.
• Close-Proximity Polycarbonate Grille & Stainless Screen: Flat-profile grille design allows placement directly against speaker grilles and drumheads while controlling proximity bass boost.
• Die-Cast Enamel-Painted Steel Chassis: Heavy-duty metal housing shields internal circuitry from electromagnetic hum and physical impact on stage.
