Pearl Microphone Labs ELM-A 180 Linear Stereo Condenser Incl. Shockmount 1930 and Wood Box

The ELM-A from Pearl stands as a true powerhouse in the realm of microphones, embodying both strength and sophistication. Its exceptional ELM capsule, coupled with individual outputs for each capsule side, offers a level of versatility and control unmatched in the industry. With a capsule featuring a 7:1 length/width ratio, the ELM-A delivers a standard cardioid polar pattern horizontally while effectively attenuating high frequencies vertically. This unique design proves invaluable in managing challenging acoustical environments, providing engineers with a powerful tool to mitigate unwanted reflections and handle poor room acoustics. A standout feature of the ELM-A is its separate outputs for each capsule side, allowing for seamless polar pattern adjustments in post-production. This versatility extends to stereo configurations, including 180-degree stereo and M-S or Blumlein setups when paired with another microphone. Just like the acclaimed Pearl 2800 rectangular capsule, the longer ELM capsule combines the finest attributes of large and small diaphragms, ensuring low noise, precise transient reproduction, and an exceptionally smooth off-axis response. The ELM series microphones, including the ELM-A, are revered for their exceptional performance in orchestral and choral recordings, earning them placement in prestigious symphonies and opera houses worldwide. Finished in elegant piano black ED lacquer with a striking white logo, ring, and engraved model number, the ELM-A epitomizes sophistication and excellence in microphone design.
