Type-19
From Heiserman:
We get it: You’re tired of the boring, clinical mics that are passed off as ‘workhorse’ or ‘utility’ mics. A good utility mic should be flattering — not flat, and it should help your tracks to sit in the mix without a fight. It just needs to work every time. Introducing the Heiserman Type-19 — the ultimate in form and function; a brand new mic that captures the heart and soul of the U47 in a compact and versatile package.
Type-19 is extremely durable, and capable of handling anything you can throw at it. Featuring the same HK47 capsule that’s found in the acclaimed Heiserman H47tube mic, the Type 19 packs an unbelievable amount of tone into a mic that can fit into the tightest spots.
Every great mic starts with a great capsule — more than any other component, the capsule defines the sound of the mic. To make a great capsule, every aspect of the design is critical — every thousandth of an inch in machine tolerance, and every picofarad of capacitance will affect the sound coming into your DAW. Heiserman is just one of a handful of mic companies in the world that fully designs, manufactures, and assembles their capsules. They build that experience and commitment into every mic.
