Aim Audio INSPIRE + Pack
Product information "Aim Audio INSPIRE + Pack"
The Aim Audio INSPIRE + Pack contains the groundbreaking and exquisite INSPIRE microphone along with the ORBIT shockmount kit. Both were completely redesigned from the ground up to help you make better recordings.
Made in Berlin, Germany, the INSPIRE is a new high-performance studio microphone unlike any other. It offers a range of unique, useful and innovative features, including our patented switchable transformer/electronic output stage. From a direct, wonderfully open and fast sound to gentle, intimate tones with sparkling overtones and deep bass — the INSPIRE will quickly become a top choice no matter where or on which source you use it.
Added to this are a fresh design, backlit and tactile controls, reversible orientation, an integrated peak-level meter, a handmade 1"-gold-sputtered-Mylar True Condenser capsule (externally polarized) and the revolutionary ORBIT shockmount including the SENTRY magnetic pop filter. This makes the INSPIRE + Pack one of the best audio products ever released — and at a price/performance ratio that breaks common conventions.
