The Milab DC-196 is a Swedish-built rectangular capsule condenser, designed for maximum clarity and versatility. Switchable between cardioid, omni, and figure-8, it’s equally at home on vocals, acoustic instruments, or as a drum overhead. With its smooth top end and natural low mids, the DC-196 brings detail without harshness, making it a favourite for engineers working across jazz, folk, and studio pop. As a matched pair, they shine in stereo applications, capturing ensembles or rooms with depth and precision.
