JZ Microphones Introduces Innovative Microphone BT-201 at '09 NAMM

Following the successful release of three highly acclaimed Black Hole studio microphones, JZ Microphones is introducing a new and innovative microphone BT-201 at the NAMM Show 2009 in Los Angeles, Anaheim Convention Centre, booth #1841, January 15—:18.

Also stereo pair set is available to provide balanced stereo recordings.

The main benefits of this new microphone include easy changeable capsules based on magnet connection, an all metal body which provides high reliability, low self noise and very detailed sound with smooth and transparent highs, optimal presence and natural low end response. Each capsule is carefully tested for all parameters and measured in an anechoic chamber for optimum performance. As with previous models this mic has a five year warranty from the date of purchase.

"When we worked on this microphone production, we wanted to create a product which could facilitate every engineer's work and we solved that by making very easy and comfortable way of changing the capsules with the magnetic connections in the time maintaining high quality of the sound," says Juris Zarins, JZ microphone's lead designer. "I think this new technology will satisfy every user of this mic!"
