handle high SPL sound sources. Switchable 3rd order low cut filter
cut out those un-wanted stage noises for clean sound even in noisy
environment.
The triple layers wind screen drop down blowing noises to the
minimum when S125 facing up-close settings.
Not only a professional choice for vocal miking, S125 is also a
professional choice for instrument miking from strings, winds, to
percussions.

capsule without a tool. Die-cast casing and steel strengthen
processed grill wind screen results sturdy structure, and extreme
low handling noise. All these efforts built up this perfect (almost)
microphone for all performing art professionals.
