Quick look at Manley's Reference Cardioid Microphone:The Manley Reference Cardioid Tube Microphone is a modern classic in vocal recording, delivering a polished, larger-than-life sound straight out of the box. A favorite among top producers, voiceover artists, and pop music engineers, this mic captures vocals with rich tonal balance, silky highs, and deep warmth reminiscent of vintage tube microphones like the U47. Its 6-micron gold-sputtered diaphragm ensures a detailed, present sound with just the right amount of edge, making it perfect for vocals, guitars, drum overheads, and saxophones. Whether you’re looking for natural clarity, smooth midrange, or effortless presence, the Ref C eliminates the need for excessive EQ boosts and compression. Powered by the new MANLEY POWER® Switch-Mode PSU, it delivers lower noise, improved high-end detail, and universal voltage compatibility for seamless performance worldwide. If you want a bold, professional vocal tone with the depth and character of classic tube mics, the Manley Reference Cardioid is the ultimate choice.

The Reference Cardioid Microphone shares the same electronic attributes as the Gold Reference Series, but has a center-fixed cardioid-only capsule with a thicker gauge (6 micron) gold sputtered diaphragm. With the similar film thickness and construction, similar high frequency resonance (a little edge), similar proximity effect and pretty good immunity from pops and sibilance problems, our Reference Cardioid more closely recalls how many of the vintage European tube mics such as the beloved U47 sounded like when they were new. Its rich tonal balance and liquid character is consistently admired for instruments such as guitars, drum overheads, saxophone, and especially vocals. With your present mic, if you find yourself leaning on your compressors and boosting 5 or 10K to score a bit more testosterone, then the Reference Cardioid just might be the mic you're looking for to cure what ails ya.
