Elevate your recordings with the Heiserman Type-19, a highly durable multi-pattern condenser microphone engineered to handle any audio challenge. Featuring the renowned HK47 capsule—also found in the acclaimed Heiserman H47tube—this compact mic delivers exceptional tone, making it ideal for tight spaces and diverse recording applications. Handcrafted in the USA, the Type-19 combines vintage-inspired magic with modern reliability, offering working engineers a versatile tool that simplifies mixing and enhances sound quality.
The Handcrafted HK47 Capsule - Precision at Its Core
The heart of every great microphone is its capsule, and the Type-19’s HK47 is no exception. Meticulously designed and manufactured in-house by Heiserman’s master technicians, this capsule is crafted with exacting tolerances—every thousandth of an inch and picofarad matters. Unlike most brands, Heiserman is among the few companies worldwide to fully produce their own capsules, ensuring unmatched quality. Made with 6-micron gold-sputtered DuPont Mylar and tested through rigorous sweeps and listening sessions, the HK47 brings consistent, reliable, and rich sound to your digital audio workstation (DAW).
Breathe Life into Your Recordings
The Type-19 transcends the ordinary utility mic, offering a vibrant tonal character inspired by legendary vintage microphones rather than a flat frequency response. Its custom circuit highlights the HK47 capsule’s classic ‘47’ sound, while features like switchable Cardioid, Omni, and Figure-8 patterns, a high-pass filter, and a -15 dB pad provide flexibility for any source—drums, vocals, or strings. Designed with input from top engineers like Grammy-winner Craig Alvin, this mic even glows blue with functional LEDs integrated into its circuit, blending style with substance.
A Microphone That Simplifies Your Workflow
Built for professionals who know mic selection shapes the mix, the Type-19 streamlines your recording process. Whether capturing brass, vocals, or intricate drum setups, this mic delivers effortless results. After hours of tracking, you’ll hear the difference—smooth, mix-ready audio that reflects its superior craftsmanship.
