Common name: Horch RM3 Mark 2

Production Status: In production

The Horch RM3 Mark 2 has a number of improvements compared to the previous model RM3. The sound selection switch, which is positioned at the front of the capsule head provides two different operation modes, the Linear mode and the Vocal mode. In Linear Mode, the polar patterns can be adjusted infinitely on the PSU between omni-directional, cardioid and figure eight. The microphone is very linear in this mode and is thus equally suitable for all recording situations. The Vocal Mode provides a special cardioid pattern with an even stronger proximity effect compared to the cardioid pattern in Linear Mode. The RM3 Mark 2 features the Horch Impedance Converter. The HIC increases both the sensitivity and the linearity of the microphone. The Horch Impedance Converter can be bypassed internally to Pure Tube Mode completely removing the impedance converter from the signal flow. The RM3 Mark 2 then becomes 100% identical to the previous model, the RM3. THE RM3 Mark 2 features a CK12 style capsule, has an integrated pop filter, shock-mount and is specially designed for instrumental and female vocal recording.
