Violet Design Ltd. Black Knight
MSRP: $498 Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Description
Violet’s Black Knight is a fixed-cardioid mic that is developing a reputation as a studio workhorse. It exhibits nearly flat frequency response, with a subtle bump around 3 kHz.
The capsule is a dual-large-diaphragm design (yet has a fixed cardioid pattern), with a 27mm 6 micron edge-terminated Mylar diaphragm coated in Violet’s proprietary gold alloy.
The grille is made of an open brass mesh, which can reduce the reflections that occur within headbaskets made of multiple layers of screen and foam. This design necessitates the use of a pop filter when tracking vocals, but results in a clearer, more transparent sound for instrument recording.
