Introduction
Studio artists around the world rely on M-Audio microphones to capture acoustic performances
with clarity and accurate tonal balance. The Pulsar II improves upon that reputation with a new
FET circuit, improved diaphragm damping, and a redesigned front grill and back plate. This
results in a very smooth midrange response and adds more "air" to the top end (above 15 kHz),
allowing the Pulsar II to exhibit a frequency response curve surprisingly similar to that of some
of the world's greatest small diaphragm microphones.
This package contains a “matched” pair of M-Audio Pulsar II microphones that were carefully
selected at the factory for their virtually identical frequency response characteristics. The
matching process makes these microphones ideal candidates for stereo recording or any
miking application where great consistency is required between two microphones. While these
microphones are perfect for stereo use, keep in mind that they can also be used in mono
applications just like standard Pulsar II microphones.
The Pulsar II's clean electronics combine with an evaporated gold diaphragm to produce a
smooth tone that makes it a great instrument-recording microphone. Use it on string
instruments, wind instruments, as an overhead drum mic, or as a room ambience recording
mic.
Please take a few moments to familiarize yourself with your new microphone by reading this
guide.
