The Apex 460 is a large-diaphragm tube condenser with dual 1-inch gold-sputtered 5-micron diaphragms and a 12AT7 vacuum tube preamp. It offers nine selectable polar patterns, from omni to figure-8, so one mic can cover vocals, room capture and close instrument work. The capsule and tube sit in a machined housing with an external suspension shock mount to cut vibration and handling noise. It suits home and project studios wanting tube character on a budget, though it is a heavy, power-hungry mic that needs its own supply and a seven-pin cable.
