KERWAX K-24F – Large Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone

OVERVIEW

The KERWAX K-24F is a boutique large diaphragm FET condenser microphone designed for engineers and producers who demand clarity and authenticity in their recordings. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Schoeps CMC series circuits, it has been adapted for a large 34 mm CK12-style capsule to capture the perfect balance of detail, transparency, and tonal warmth.

Ideal for vocals and acoustic instruments, the K-24F delivers a smooth, never overly sibilant response, while its ability to handle sound pressure levels up to 140 dB makes it versatile enough for louder sources as well. With its transformerless design, cardioid polar pattern, and handcrafted French build quality, the K-24F brings studio-grade performance and refined character to every session.
