Magic is in the AIR!

The AIR microphone features an original and exclusive capsule design by Gene Lawson. Using a variant of the popular L47 capsule, Lawson has created a masterpiece microphone with response shaped for vocal tasks: broadcast, voice-over, radio/TV, and singing. The AIR is a 48 volt phantom powered one-inch large diaphragm cardioid condenser mic with a six-micron gold sputtered diaphragm. The capsule diaphragms have been edge connected rather than center connected for more warmth, robust articulation, and more resonant proximity effects. R-r-r-really BIG s-s-sound!
Considering radio’s fast paced environment and need for rugged, on-the-spot and no-down-time requirements, the AIR’s solid state circuit features a Neutrik® transformer, hand-soldered all-discrete components, and a gold-plated XLR connector. The AIR mic was designed with simplicity in mind with no pad or roll-off functions. Go ahead. Eat this mic. It’s designed to work up close. You’ll find the hyper-cardioid optimization and always-active roll-off quite tasty. With its buttery mid-range and toasty highs, your vocals will spread like jam. Whether you’re a rock-n-roll DJ on-the-air, a hypnotist recording a relaxing mantra, or a song writer nervously recording your first demo, the AIR microphone will capture that most important instrument, your voice, with amazing realism and vibrancy.
Like all microphones in the Lawson family, the AIR features the Lawson Quick Change™ capsule system that is easily removable and may be plugged into all other Lawson mics, including our popular L47MP and L251 tube microphones.
