A "Lanen" Version Designed to Offer a True Large Diaphragm in the ST Range
Based on the STC-3D MK2, the Prodipe ST-1 MK2 Lanen stands out with an ambitious capsule choice: a 34 mm capsule with a 1-inch gold-sputtered diaphragm. In this category, many microphones marketed as "large diaphragm" actually use smaller capsules, which affects the sense of body, density, and depth in the low and lower midrange. Here, the goal is clear: to provide a more organic and natural sound without unnecessary harshness in the high frequencies.
For Which Recordings and Users?
The ST-1 MK2 Lanen is aimed at home studio users, musicians, podcasters, and content creators who want a cardioid condenser microphone capable of delivering detailed recordings while maintaining warmth and a sense of proximity. It is suitable for vocals, acoustic guitars, amps recorded at an appropriate distance, light percussion, or as a supplementary microphone in ensemble recordings, depending on the room acoustics.
Capsule, Dynamics, and Filtering: Key Points for More Manageable Recordings
Typical condenser definition, with more body
Thanks to its large diaphragm design, this microphone aims for a reproduction that combines precision and roundness. It highlights details useful for mixing (attack, articulation, air) while avoiding the "thin" sound impression found in some more basic microphones.
Handling Bass and Vibrations
The built-in 100 Hz filter (10 dB/octave) is practical for reducing handling noise, microphone stand vibrations, or overwhelming proximity bass. Combined with good placement and ideally a shock mount and pop filter, it helps achieve a cleaner recording right from the source.

Beautiful construction, the microphone seems robust, note that the ball joint mount for the foot is made of metal, which is very reassuring if it has to be dismantled often.
The first attempts are (very) encouraging (recording an acoustic guitar) and correspond to what I expected: beautiful reproduction of the musical spectrum, bass-midrange and treble.
Of course, as with any microphone, you have to try, test, and find the right position for a gain rendering that will give the best balanced result.
I knew Prodipe for its beautiful and effective acoustic amps, its microphones being in the same line of seriousness, well designed for a musician.Automatically translated

I had a problem with this microphone, I called the after-sales service by email (no hotline) but everything was resolved quickly, the microphone was replaced. I was still very scared when I read reviews of Woodbrass customer service on the internet... unfounded as far as I was concerned.
Thank you

Questions frequently asked
Is the Prodipe ST1 MK2 suitable for recording vocals?
Its 34 mm capsule with a 1-inch gold-plated diaphragm is designed to deliver a detailed voice with warmth and proximity. The cardioid polar pattern favors the sound source positioned in front of the microphone.
What kind of power supply is required for this condenser microphone?
A 48 V DC phantom power supply is necessary. Connection is made via XLR to an interface, a mixing console, or a compatible preamplifier.
Is the high-pass filter on the ST1 MK2 useful?
The built-in filter acts at 100 Hz with a slope of 10 dB per octave. It attenuates floor vibrations, handling noise, and excessive low frequencies related to the proximity effect. A shock mount and a pop filter can complement this setting during vocal recordings.
Can it record an acoustic guitar?
This model is suitable for acoustic guitars thanks to its frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz and its large diaphragm capsule. The recording can retain attack while adding body in the low mids.
What is the maximum sound pressure level this microphone can handle?
The maximum sound pressure level specified is 130 dB SPL at 1 kHz, with total harmonic distortion less than or equal to 1%.
