Matrix Hot-Swappable Capsules Tube Microphones.

The Matrix line microphones feature a tube body with interchangeable capsules, allowing a single microphone chassis —housing the electronics and connections— to accommodate different detachable capsules, each with its own sonic character and polar pattern.

This versatile design adapts one microphone body to a wide range of applications simply by swapping capsules, reducing the need for multiple microphones and saving valuable studio space.

With this flexibility, users can choose capsules that capture the character of legendary classics or experiment with entirely new sonic textures. Unlike digital emulation systems that attempt to replicate multiple microphones with a single capsule, the Matrix delivers authenticity by relying on the true physical response of each capsule.

The Matrix is also a multipattern microphone, offering remote polar pattern control directly from its power supply. It incorporates our exclusive DUAL DRIVE output, combining an active circuit path and a high-performance toroidal transformer path, each operating independently. This allows for a seamless phase-coherent summation in post-production.

       Key Advantages & Benefits of the “Hot-Swappable Capsules” System:

  • Versatility: a single microphone body can adapt to various applications simply by changing the heads.
  • Space and cost savings: no need to purchase multiple complete microphones; one body with several interchangeable capsules is enough.
  • Instant Lock for capsule heads.
  • Prevents loud noises and protects the electronics during capsule changes, thanks to the auto-mute system, which automatically silences the signal when a capsule is removed.
  • Combine tube warmth with maximum sonic flexibility and the convenience of hot-swappable capsules.
  • Not emulations — capsules with unique physical characteristics.
  • No special tools or screws are needed to remove or replace capsules, and no restart time is required.
