Overview
The Superlux S502
Stereo microphone combines a pair of matched
cardioid capsules in an ORTF arrangement. The ORTF
stereo technique uses two first order
cardioid microphones with a spacing of 17
cm between the
microphone diaphragms, and with a 110° angle between the capsules. This technique is well suited for reproducing
stereo cues that are similar to those that are used by the human ear to perceive
directional information in the horizontal plane. The spacing of the microphones emulates the distance between the human ears, and the angle between the two
directional microphones emulates the shadow effect of the human head.
Based on the Superlux's successful S241 and
S125 true
condenser capsule technology, Superlux utilizes the same precision 1/2
inch 3 micron gold sputtered
diaphragm and low
noise microphone pre-
amplifier circuits. The S502 is ideal for a very wide range of
stereo recording applications producing an evenly-spread
stereo image with good localization, depth and detailed
sound texture.The flat and wide
frequency response and straightforward design provides experienced and beginning engineers convenient a studio-grade
stereo recording or
sound reinforcement solution for a wide range of professional
audio applications.
