The Superlux S241/U3 is a deluxe interchangeable capsule small diaphragm
externally polarized condenser mic. It is similar in this regard to the Schoeps
Colette series and the original AKG C451E series. The current AKG C451B was made
without interchangable capsules and has an electret capsule as a cost saving
measure. The S241/U3 comes with a cardioid capsule, but pairs of omni capsules
are available. It has a switchable attenuator with 0, -10, and -20 dB settings
to allow use in extreme level applications up to 143 dB SPL. There is a
switchable low cut filter with flat, 75 Hz and 150 Hz settings to allow
rejection of room rumble and unwanted low frequency pickup. It comes with a foam
windscreen for outdoor or handheld vocal applications, and a micro-perf metal
pop filter for studio vocal applications. A shock mount is supplied, and the
whole kit comes with a hard shell plastic carrying case.
