The Wedge
The Wedge condenser microphone from Violet Microphones is meticulously designed for the highest quality of studio recording. It's multi-layered, wedge-shaped head effectively reduces plosive sounds and other noises such as wind or breath. Acoustic open head provides new level of sound transparence and naturalness.
The Wedge's capsule is made from high-quality, 6-micron Mylar film, and it's innovative freestanding design results in a more open and detailed sound.
The critical first stage circuit is located close to the capsule to further improve sound quality.
The large single-diaphragm is precisely tensioned, adjusted on back plates, and sputtered with Violet's exclusive gold alloy mixture. This process allows The Wedge to give a faster impulse transient response without sound coloration or low-frequency reduction, and also makes it capable of handling high sound pressure levels.

Applications
The Wedge has a warmer tone with very high output and ultra-low self-noise. It is designed for a wide range of studio recording situations. The fast transient response, crystal clear highs and loud SPL handling make it excellent for recording drums, especially for snare drum, overhead and hi-hat.
It is also excellent for piano, electric and acoustic guitars, bowed strings and brass instruments.
There is no need to worry about overload but using a pop-filter in the studio or a foam windscreen in live applications can help reduce plosive sounds and breath, pop or wind noises.
