KEL Audio has announced the HM-3C, an affordable mid-diaphragm condenser mic with a clean open sound and premium circuitry.

The HM-3C features a specially tuned version of the capsule used in KEL's popular HM-1 mic. Instead of a wide cardioid, however, the HM-3C features a tighter pattern and rising response for a cleaner, more open sound. The linear circuitry is transformerless, like all KEL mics and features high-grade brand name components in the signal path.

"The HM-3C is designed to pretty much capture what you hear" says Kelly Dueck of KEL Audio. "Some people consider our other mics to be 'character' mics, but the HM-3C is more open and detailed. It borders on unforgiving."

Due to its fast response, the HM-3C is recommended for all stringed instruments, percussion, ensemble recording and even select vocals.

The HM-3C is expected to ship early June and will be available direct from KEL Audio website for $199 including shipping. The mic includes an aluminum flight case and custom designed shock mount.
