This is a small-capsule microphone. Impossible.'\"\r\\n\r\\nAccording to Siwei, \"The SDC's problem is that they have a very clear sound - the SPL is high, but the sound is very cold, not like with a large diaphragm. The quality of the transformer can make the sound much, much better - but with a small transformer, nobody can do it.\"\r\\n\r\\n\"Rupert told me, 'I want THIS transformer.' I said, 'That transformer is too big. This is a small-capsule microphone. Impossible.' He said, 'I want the impossible to be possible.'\"\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sound-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMGP1443_Snapseed.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-2004 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sound-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMGP1443_Snapseed-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003eTHE SMALL DIAPHRAGM\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\nWith a 15mm diaphragm (the world's smallest production gold-sputtered diaphragm), the transient response of the RN17 is unparalleled.\r\\n\r\\nSuch a small capsule reacts extremely quickly, and is therefore adept at picking up the most delicate of high-frequency content.\r\\n\r\\nHowever, a tiny diaphragm usually results in a lack of low-frequency response. How to counter this?\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sound-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMGP1603_Snapseed.jpg\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-2005 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sound-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/IMGP1603_Snapseed-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"234\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eTHE MASSIVE TRANSFORMER\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\nMade obvious by the unusual chassis shape, the RN17's transformer is substantially larger than the norm. This full-scale transformer was custom-designed by Rupert Neve specifically for this microphone - and nobody has been designing audio transformers longer (or better) than Rupert Neve.\r\\n\r\\nWith an audio transformer of this magnitude, the RN17 is able to put out astonishing clarity across ALL frequencies - not just the highs. The midrange is detailed and forward, the lows are full and accurate, and the whole microphone has a balance and headroom never before achieved with a small-capsule microphone.\r\\n\u003ch4\u003eMATTE BLACK FINISH\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\nThe matte black finish minimizes the level of visual attention drawn to the microphone when used on stage or in the studio, allowing it to blend into the background.\r\\n\u003ch4\u003eADDITIONAL CAPSULES\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\nThe RN17 ships standard with a cardioid capsule, but an omnidirectional capsule is also available for purchase separately.\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sound-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rn17shock.png\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-2006 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sound-music.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/rn17shock-248x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"248\" height=\"300\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003eCUSTOM SHOCK MOUNT\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\nThe RN17 includes custom-designed, sturdy, protective, and easy-to-use shock mounts, with a precision stereo mounting bar, which is essential to reducing the unwanted effects of vibration or knocks to the supporting microphone stand.\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\n\u003ch4\u003eOmnidirectional Capsules\u003c\/h4\u003e\r\\nEspecially when used with an RN17 Stereo Pair, these omnidirectional capsules can be used to capture amazing room effects for drums, pianos, and orchestras.
