A9

Common name: Luke Audio A9

Production Status: In production

The A9 is a small diaphragm edge terminated capsule design that has been super sized to 36mm. As a giant SDC, the A-9 is ideal for to acoustic and string instruments recording. Each capsule backplate is precision machined and hand lapped to extremely tight tolerances then sent to the “Clean Room” to build. In the “Clean Room” each diaphragm is made by stretching a piece of 1 Micron thin Mylar and coating it with a layer of pure Platinum via a state of the art Cressington sputter coater machine. Each capsule is meticulously assembled, tested through a vigorous and time consuming process, and fine tuned to ensure consistency.
