NEW! KEL Song Sparrow
The new Song Sparrow adds a smooth open sheen to your acoustic palette. It's the perfect mic for female pop vocal recording and that sweet jangly acoustic guitar sound eveyone loves. With the Song Sparrow, tracks sit at the front of the mix with clarity focus and detail. Vowels take on a silky airy quality, consonants are articulate and clean without any harsh grit common in vocal mics in this price range. In addition to capturing stunning lead vocals, you can use the Song Sparrow to record piano, drum overheads, saxes, vocal groups and more -- all with polish and class.
The mic features a 1-inch side terminated condenser capsule married to a dual FET transformerless circuit and a high-grade signal path (including premium WIMA film capacitors). We've avoided the use of low-grade tube circuits, ceramic capacitors and underspec transformers in order to keep the mic affordable, choosing instead to bring you a simple, high quality design built with components that will serve you for years and years.
The mic comes in an understated matte black that doesn't distract on stage or in the studio. Includes aluminum case, quality shock mount.

NEW! KEL HM3C
The HM-3C was designed with one thing in mind -- smooth natural reproduction of whatever you put in front of it. The HM-3C is recommended for all acoustic instruments and ensemble recording or anywhere natural sound capture is required. The HM-3C is exceptional on piano, banjo, acoustic guitar, mandolin, resophonic guitar and horns.
The HM-3C starts with a 20 mm capsule based on the same design used in our popular HM-1, but the polar pattern is tighter and the frequendy response of the mic is flatter. A high-grade signal path, featuring quality WIMA film capacitors throughout, ensures every sonic detail makes it to your pre-amp. Includes aluminum case, custom shock mount.
- Element: 20 mm externally biased condenser

Polar Pattern: "Cardioid"
-
Frequency Response: 30Hz-20kHz
-
Sensitivity: -36dB±2dB (0dB=1V/Pa)

KEL HM-1X Microphone
The HM-1x is the next generation of the mic that launched KEL. The new HM-1x features the same proven capsule and circuit topology, but has received significant component upgrades and mechanical upgrades. You’ll find high-grade film capacitors all over the PC board, as well as an ultra smooth styroflex cap between the capsule and FET for incredible detail and transparency.
The body is slightly larger but remains as compact and rugged as ever. Plus the shock mount is better and we’re once again including a handy swivel mount for use in tighter micing situations.
- Capsule: 20mm Externally Biased Condenser
-
Polar Pattern: Wide Cardioid
-
Frequency Response: 30Hz-20kHz
-
Sensitivity: -38dB+/-2dB (0dB=1V/Pa at 1kHz)
-
Self Noise: 18dB A (IEC 581-5)
-
Max. Input SPL: 134 dB (at 1kHz 1% THD)
-
S/N Ratio: 76dB
-
Phantom Power: 48V DC
-
Body Dimensions: 2' x 5'

KEL HM-2d Microphone The HM-2d is a unique large diaphragm condenser mic voiced to sound big and beefy -- like a quality dynamic mic.
Use the HM-2d on electric guitar amps, outside of kick drums, on horns, harmonica, high-strung instruments, and vocals. Basically put it up whenever you want a smooth old-school vibe instead of the hash and grit of low priced tube mics, or the mud of some of the inexpensive off-shore ribbon mics flooding the market, recently.
Also, because the HM-2d is a transformerless condenser mic, it's far less susceptible to the loading effects that can drastically change the sound of dynamic mics from one pre-amp to the next. It's got a round top end with a fast bottom for a sound that's clear yet tight. It's a truly unique and eminently useful sound. The frequency response varies only about 2 dB between 70 Hz and 12 kHz.
- Element: 1-inch externally biased center-terminated capsule
- Polar Pattern: "Small Supercardioid"
- Frequency Response: 30Hz-16kHz
- Sensitivity: -35dB±2dB (0dB=1V/Pa)
- Self Noise: =14dB A
- Impedance: 200 ohms
- Max. Input SPL: 135dB (at 1kohm)
- S/N Ratio: 80 dB(A)
- Output Impedence: 200O
- Phantom Power Requirement: 48V

KEL HM-7U Microphone We start with a quality capsule featuring a K47-style backplate to get the basic sound in place. Instead of crappy tubes and junky transformers we use a proven class-A, dual-FET, transformerless circuit with premium WIMA film capacitors to squeeze out all the rich detail the capsule has to offer.
We also add extra features including a low cut filter to control sub-harmonic rumble, a -10dB pad to help handle extra loud sources, plus a handy phantom power LED indicator so you know when the mic is active on stage or when recording.
The HM-7U has a thick glossy sound with good transient detail well suited to lead and back-up vocals, kick drums and toms, upright bass, woodwinds, piano, mandolin and more.
Comes with a shock mount, swivel mount and flight case. The new HM-7U features an enlarged grill basket and added body damping for a tighter, richer sound. Thanks to user feedback, the low-cut and pad switches moved to the back of the mic, along with a nicer phantom power light so engineers can access the switches and see the light without getting in the way of the artist.
