Omni, cardioid and figure-of-eight sit at points along that sweep, with every shade in between available too, making MERCURY as much a mic-placement tool as a tone-shaping one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA European-made 12AT7\/ECC81 valve drives the circuit, chosen for a rich, rounded character rather than the brighter edge some other tube types produce. Sontronics hand-builds the mic in the UK using premium electronic components selected for unusually tight tolerances, and backs it up with an external power supply, shockmount and flightcase in the box, alongside an onboard -10dB pad and 75Hz high-pass filter for handling louder or bassier sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolo Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStrings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWoodwind Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHarp\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGuitar\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVoiceover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eChoir\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsemble\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Variable-pattern valve\/tube condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully sweepable from omnidirectional via cardioid to figure-of-eight and everything in between\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20Hz to 20kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePad:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0, -10dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilter Linear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eValve\/tube Mercury:\u003c\/strong\u003e European-made 12AT7\/ECC81\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤200 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax.
