The Nordic Audio Labs NU-880K Microphone is a flagship large-diaphragm condenser microphone that brings extraordinary versatility, precision, and sonic realism to professional recording.

Combining the performance of two perfectly matched NU-100K microphones into a single body, the NU-880K makes it possible to capture mono, stereo, and surround recordings without swapping microphones or compromising sound quality. Featuring Nordic Audio Labs' innovative FloFET™ technology, dual proprietary D100K capsules, and native B-format architecture, this remarkable microphone delivers exceptional transient detail, natural off-axis response, and outstanding signal integrity. Whether you're recording intimate acoustic performances, full orchestras, cinematic soundscapes, or immersive audio productions, the NU-880K is designed to capture every nuance with breathtaking clarity and musicality. At the heart of the Nordic Audio Labs NU-880K is an advanced dual-capsule design featuring two proprietary D100K large-diaphragm, edge-terminated capsules, each supported by independent FloFET™ circuitry. This sophisticated architecture combines the sonic qualities of Nordic Audio Labs' acclaimed NU-100K with the flexibility required for sophisticated multi-channel recording applications. The result is a microphone that captures fast transients with remarkable accuracy while maintaining consistent tonal balance across its pickup field. Its unique capsule construction also provides excellent resistance to the effects of humidity, contributing to dependable performance across a variety of recording environments. What truly sets the NU-880K apart is its ability to move effortlessly between traditional recording techniques and modern immersive audio workflows. Its native horizontal B-format architecture provides WXY outputs, allowing engineers to explore different pickup configurations and spatial perspectives from a single microphone position. The included perpetual Harpex-X plug-in license further expands its capabilities, providing powerful tools for working with spatial microphone recordings. From orchestral and ensemble recording to film scoring, ambient sound capture, and immersive music production, the NU-880K offers an exceptionally flexible approach to professional audio capture. Handmade in Finland and equipped with a fully balanced 5-pin XLR output, the NU-880K represents Nordic Audio Labs' commitment to innovative microphone engineering, uncompromising craftsmanship, and outstanding sound.
