Know before you buy
Each capsule features a unique acoustic design that alters the frequency response and transient characteristics of the mic. By swapping them, you can shift from a bright, modern presence to a warmer, vintage-inspired tone without changing the base microphone body.
Not at all. The system uses a simple, secure twist-and-lock mechanism that allows you to change capsules in seconds, making it easy to audition different sounds during a recording session.
Yes, the Bottle Rocket Stage 1 is a condenser microphone that requires +48V phantom power. You will need an audio interface or preamp capable of providing this power to operate the unit.
The system is designed with a cardioid polar pattern across its capsules. This makes it highly effective for isolating a single sound source, such as a vocal or an acoustic instrument, while rejecting unwanted noise from the back and sides.
The S-3 shockmount is highly recommended, as it decouples the microphone from the stand to prevent low-frequency vibrations and handling noise from reaching the capsule. It is essential for maintaining clean, professional-grade recordings.
Yes, the package includes a custom-fitted, durable SKB hard case. It is specifically designed to protect the microphone body and the delicate capsules during transport, making it an excellent choice for mobile engineers.
