JZ Recording Mic?


So, I was on B&H Photo's website looking for microphones to buy with my next paycheck when I saw This. I was immediately taken aback by it's unique design. I wish I had one to test out... maybe one I'll be the kind of blogger who gets to play with new equipment to write reviews. Unfortunately for me, I'm still in the dream-state of shopping.

However, here are the features and specs provided by http://bhphotovideo.com


Features:

The JZ Microphones' Black Hole BH-2 Cardioid Condenser Microphone delivers exceptional audio reproduction for crucial capturing of vocals, instruments and amplifier cabinets in professional, project and home studio recording applications. The handcrafted, large-diaphragm condenser microphone features a single "golden drop" sputtered diaphragm that reproduce audio with crisp detail and accuracy. The Black Hole BH-2 also features a cardioid polar pattern which effectively eliminates off-axis noise and feedback.

• Single "golden-drop" sputtered diaphragm achieves airy, detailed signal reproduction
