For all of our PCBs (also made in Berlin), we selected the highest quality components throughout &#8211; despite the cost, to maintain and exceed audio performance from many other designs that our team have been involved in. We also wanted to achieve a very low noise floor without compromising on the audio quality, so we have a total number of four separate PCBs in each microphone, to minimise crosstalk and provide a leading-edge internal headroom of 140 dBA+.

This special design doesn\u2019t sound harsh or just add distortion, like many off the shelf transformer circuits can do, but it provides a slightly thicker and richer LF, plus a slightly airy top end and a slower transient response. Useful for all sorts of audio; from aggressive or velvety smooth vocals, to heavy guitars or a brass section, this mode gives a beautifully open sound with shimmering harmonics.<\/p>\n<p>While our super clean Electronically Balanced Output will react much faster with transients and can handle higher SPL, even at ultra-low frequencies. Perfect for catching fast moving audio like shiny drum overheads or tracking acoustic guitars, without any \u2018smearing\u2019 of the audio, this mode gives stunningly transparent and natural recordings. It captures all the detail in the HF but without adding a zingy quality that some condensers can be prone to.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>Aim Audio\u2019s patent-pending output switching technology is a world first.

This makes ESSENCE a perfect \u2018invisible mic\u2019 for video, calming studio environments or in live settings.<\/p>\n<p>You can also easily lock the buttons too, great if you want to stop performers from \u201cfiddling\u201d or to prevent accidental changes while moving the microphone\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Catch the Peaks and Rumbles&#8221; module_id=&#8221;meter&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#E4E4E4&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Catch the Peaks and Rumbles&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_line_height=&#8221;40px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>You know how it goes, a perfect take ruined because you didn\u2019t spot the mic was peaking and causing input distortion. Well despite the electronics of ESSENCE being capable of 140 dB + of internal headroom (that\u2019s louder than a jet taking off above your head!), very many mic preamps are just not capable of either taking anywhere near that kind of level or even sounding great if they do. Which is why mics generally have pad options on them, to help reduce the output level.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;1_2,1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/aimaudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/catch-the-peak-and-rumbles-essence-855&#215;1024.jpg&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; max_height=&#8221;600px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_2&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>While the average source should not present an issue, loud amps, drums or even singers with the odd peaking transient can distort your input. So, to help you better catch these short overload peaks before they damage recordings, we fitted a simple Peak Level meter to ESSENCE. The LED will flash Orange when the level is approaching the \u2018danger level\u2019 and will go Red when it hits around 128 dB*. Even though ESSENCE should not distort internally at this level, as this is at source it makes it way easier to set the -10 Pad control and will help you make better distortion free recordings, no matter what kind of kit you are using.<\/p>\n<p>The mic also has a switch for a Low Cut Filter at 80 Hz. This is are useful for helping to you to get the best sound possible for your recordings.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Take the Shock&#8221; module_id=&#8221;shockmount&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_heading title=&#8221;Take the Shock&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; title_text_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;40px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_heading][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>ESSENCE is equipped with an integral direct-to-stand mount thread in the base of the microphone, which makes setting up in tight spaces a breeze.
