The CL8 has a true capacitor condenser mic element design with dual 1.1-inch, ultra thin gold spluttered diaphragm capsules giving it the ability of multi pattern operation. Capacitor-based elements are warmer, brighter and bigger sounding than electret-based elements, which is why they are able to faithfully reproduce a variety of sound sources with amazing clarity and detail.
