INTRODUCTION
The KU4 is a side-address ribbon microphone with a supercardioid
pickup pattern. The reduced rear-lobe of the supercardioid pattern
means that, compared to a conventional bi-directional ribbon
microphone, the KU4 will have less pickup of ambient sound
from the rear. This makes it much easier to use in situations where
isolation between instruments is important or under less than ideal
acoustics. The angles of maximum off-axis sound rejection are
at ± 135°, and you can use those angles effectively to minimize
reflections caused by nearby surfaces. The KU4 has been designed
to reduce proximity bass boost to facilitate closer mic placement.
The lightly-tensioned, ultra low-mass ribbon produces response out
to 20 kHz (-7 dB) with fast, accurate transients, and without the
upper-midrange ringing common to condenser microphones.
These characteristics make the KU4 well suited for modern studio
music production, and ideal for low strings and brass instruments
as well as vocals.
