New Black Hole & accessories
Following the announcement in SOS April 2008 of the JZ Mics multi-pattern Black Hole and fixed-cardioid Black Hole SE, the Latvian manufacturer have announced the third revision of the large-diaphragm condenser, the Black Hole PE.
Like the SE, the new model has a fixed-cardioid polar pattern but features a pad, which has -5dB and -10dB settings. It costs 1395 Euros, which was £1222 at the time of writing.
Coinciding with the launch of the Black Hole PE, JZ Mics have also released a new shockmount and pop shield that fit all the Black Hole models.
The shockmount, a conventional elastic-based one, replaces the rubbery mount that shipped with the original Black Holes and is, according to JZ, “devised to use on crazy applications where the included stand holder is not enough to handle all thunderclaps”.
The pop shield and shockmount are bundled together, as the former connects to the latter, using two thumb screws to fix the pop shield in place. The bundle costs 240 Euros, (around £195).
