It is a fixed-cardioid, transformerless, solid-state condenser with no pattern switching and no additional controls – just the capsule, the FloFET amplifier circuit, and a body engineered to the same build standard as the rest of the range. Ships in a Peli-type hard case with a Rycote InVision shockmount included. Hand-built in Finland with a 10-year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eD100K Capsule and FloFET: Same Core as the NU-100K\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe D100K is Nordic Audio Labs' proprietary 30mm edge-terminated capsule with an aluminium diaphragm. Edge-terminated mounting reduces the resonance artefacts common in conventional capsule designs, which translates to a frequency response that is wide and smooth without harshness in the top end – and, critically, recordings that take EQ and compression without fighting back. The FloFET circuit operates identically to the one in the NU-100K: a solid-state topology running on standard 48V phantom power that produces the harmonic saturation and dimensional quality of high-end tube microphones without requiring tubes, transformers, or an external power supply. Tape Op reviewers noted a particularly useful property of the polar pattern: lower frequencies behave closer to supercardioid, while higher frequencies open toward a wider cardioid shape. This means the microphone can be positioned further from the source to manage proximity effect without losing presence – a quality that reduces the need for de-essing and pop filtering in post.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications That Matter in Practice\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eThe frequency response of 17 Hz to 27 kHz is broader than most large-diaphragm condensers in this class. Sensitivity of 18 mV\/Pa and a maximum SPL of 136 dB before clipping give the NU-24K sufficient range to handle both quiet, dynamically nuanced vocal performances and louder acoustic instruments without gain staging issues. The microphone is purpose-voiced for a full, forward modern vocal character – wide, present, and detailed without the clinical edge that makes many condensers demanding to work with in mix. The 10-year warranty reflects the build standard of hand-assembled production in Finland.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFixed cardioid pattern – voiced for vocal and acoustic instrument recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFloFET circuit – tube-like warmth without tubes, transformers, or external PSU\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eD100K capsule – 30mm, edge-terminated, aluminium diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 17 Hz – 27 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 18 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMax SPL: 136 dB before clipping\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSmooth, phase-coherent off-axis response\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eRecordings accept processing with minimal artefacts\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncludes Peli-type hard case and Rycote InVision shockmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eHand-built in Finland\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e10-year warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eType: large-diaphragm condenser, fixed cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCapsule: D100K, 30mm, edge-terminated, aluminium diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eCircuit: FloFET (solid-state, transformerless, no tubes)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePolar pattern: cardioid (fixed)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 17 Hz – 27 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 18 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eMax SPL: 136 dB (before clipping)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003ePhantom power: 48V\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eDimensions: 192 x 38 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWeight: 380 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eIncluded accessories: Peli-type hard case, Rycote InVision shockmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eWarranty: 10 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eOrigin: Finland (hand-assembled)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Nordic Audio Labs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53984925188433,"sku":"59179","price":1442.93,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/NordicAudioLabsNU-24K1.jpg?v=1780917268","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/de-fr\/products\/nordic-audio-labs-nu-24k","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
