Peluso Stage One PS-1 Handheld Condenser Mic
Delivering clarity and a warm tone you’d expect from a studio condenser, the handheld supercardioid Peluso Stage One (PS-1) from master mic builder John Peluso of Peluso Microphone Lab provides both high gain and feedback rejection. An -18 dB pad switch matches the gain to familiar dynamic mics; a low-end rolloff switch reduces rumble and a high-end roll-off switch reduces high-frequency noise. Under the rugged metal head basket, an internal foam windscreen protects against pops and moisture. Street price is $699.
