Despite their resemblance, the Raven and Cardinal are birds of a different feather: the Raven is designed as an all-rounder. It is also the perfect microphone for live and studio instruments. The Raven's cardioid pattern with excellent off-axis rejection serves to reduce to a minimum the risk of feedback. The Raven's frequency response is 45 Hz - 18 kHz and its max SPL a deafening 162 dB.
