Nordic Audio Labs announces the upgraded NU-100K large-diaphragm capacitor microphone with enhanced FloFET circuitry technology. The company claims this proprietary circuit delivers warmer tones resembling valve characteristics. CEO Martin Kantola's D100K capsule design forms the foundation of this multi-pattern recording device. The microphone maintains excellent off-axis response and smooth frequency reproduction that distinguished its predecessor. Finnish craftsmanship produces each unit by hand with a decade-long warranty guarantee.
Three polar patterns accommodate diverse recording situations through cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8 configurations. The figure-8 setting provides ribbon-like tonal qualities according to manufacturer specifications. Technical performance reaches 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response with 17 dBA self-noise levels. Maximum sound pressure handling extends to 137 dBA while requiring standard 48-volt phantom power. The €2110 microphone weighs 380 grams and measures 192 millimeters in length.
