"The MD509 has an excellent transient response. Its laterally mounted capsule has been specially developed for miking guitar cabs face on and extremely close to the signal source. The MD509 is also suitable for drum miking, particularly toms, where the microphone's profile allows the capsule to be positioned close to the drum skin. Sound inlet basket: refined steel."
