Nordic Audio Labs NU-314K – Large-Diaphragm Omnidirectional Condenser Microphone with FloFET™ Technology

OVERVIEW

The NU-314K is the singular large-diaphragm omnidirectional condenser microphone in existence. It combines Nordic Audio Labs’ proprietary FloFET™ circuit technology with the D100P capsule, a pressure transducer with a high-frequency focus.

Purpose-built for engineers seeking the openness of an omnidirectional microphone with greater focus and precision, the NU-314K delivers exceptional realism, natural depth and effortless musicality across a wide range of recording applications.

The FloFET™ circuit technology combined with the uniquely engineered D100P capsule delivers natural openness, exceptional transient precision and uncompromising sonic accuracy, with greater focus and character than traditional omni designs.

Designed for premium orchestral recordings, individual instruments and lead vocals, the NU-314K offers a distinctive recording perspective with spaciousness, focus and precision.

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

True Large-Diaphragm Omnidirectional Design

Unlike most condenser microphones that treat omnidirectional response as a secondary pattern, the NU-314K is designed as a true pressure transducer, allowing it to capture sound with remarkable openness and natural realism.

Exceptional Detail and Transient Response

The innovative capsule design delivers precise transient reproduction and fine detail that can rival many small-diaphragm microphones, while still maintaining the depth and character of a large-diaphragm design.

Ideal for Stereo and Decca Tree Recording

With its natural omnidirectional response and low self-noise, the NU-314K is perfectly suited for stereo arrays such as Decca Tree configurations used in orchestral and classical recording.

Low Noise and Wide Dynamic Range

High polarisation voltage and precision engineering provide a very low noise floor and wide dynamic range, enabling the microphone to capture both delicate passages and powerful performances with clarity.

Handcrafted Capsule Precision

Each capsule used in the NU-314K is individually machined, assembled, and tuned by Martin Kantola, ensuring the highest level of quality and consistency.

FEATURES

• True omnidirectional large-diaphragm condenser microphone design
• Proprietary D100P 30mm true pressure transducer capsule
• Superlative transient detail
• The proprietary capsule design means the microphone is not affected by humidity like conventional condenser microphones, eliminating potential moisture-related problems during vocal and location recording
• Very good signal-to-noise figures make it easy to record low-level instruments perfectly
• Handmade with love in Finland
• 10-Year warranty
