Description

Edit description

The Bock Audio U195 is a dynamic microphone that seamlessly bridges the world of classic and modern studio recording. Designed by renowned audio craftsman David Bock, this microphone stands out with its transformer-coupled FET electronics, ensuring a rich and vibrant sound capture. Its large diaphragm delivers remarkable tonal detail, making it a versatile choice for everything from soft vocals to thunderous drums. With a fixed cardioid polar pattern, the U195 excels in isolating the sound source while minimizing background noise, providing clarity and precision in every recording.

This microphone offers flexibility with its "fat" and "norm" modes, allowing users to tailor the bass response to their needs. The inclusion of a unique variable pad makes it adept at handling high SPL situations without distortion, preserving the integrity of your audio. The U195 is crafted with premium components, including a 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm and Roderstein resistors, enhancing its durability and performance. Its design eliminates the typical FET mic high-end fizzle, offering a smooth, natural sound that's both warm and detailed.

Handcrafted in Los Angeles, each U195 microphone undergoes rigorous quality control, with capsules individually selected to meet the high standards set by Bock Audio. Whether you're a budget-conscious studio or a professional seeking a reliable "do-it-all" mic, the U195 delivers professional-level performance without breaking the bank.
