Roswell Pro Audio SDC – Pencil Condenser Microphones (Matched Pair)
OVERVIEW
The Roswell Pro Audio SDC Matched Pair provides two precision pencil condenser microphones carefully matched for stereo recording applications. Inspired by the classic Schoeps CMC5 architecture, these microphones feature transformerless circuitry with extremely low noise and distortion, delivering highly accurate sound reproduction and exceptional transient detail.
Their neutral voicing and extended dynamic range make them perfect for stereo drum overheads, acoustic guitars, orchestral instruments, and ensemble recordings. Pencil condenser microphones maintain tight pattern control, helping reduce unwanted room ambience while preserving clarity and separation.
Each microphone is hand-assembled and tuned in Roswell’s California workshop, and matched pairs are carefully selected to ensure consistent sensitivity and tonal balance for reliable stereo imaging.
