Nordic Audio Labs NU-880K: one microphone, endless possibilities

The NU-880K is a horizontal B-format surround condenser microphone with three independent outputs (WXY) designed to offer maximum flexibility in mono, stereo or multichannel recordings. Thanks to its advanced design, polar patterns and pickup angles can be changed even in post-production, creating virtually any microphone combination from a single recorded source.

Immersive audio without compromise

The NU-880K combines extreme versatility with three-dimensional sound, rich in realism, detail and emotion. Its proprietary D100K capsules offer extended frequency response and dynamics that make it perfect for ambient shots, location recording, vocals, instruments, and complex surround configurations. No need for compromise-it's perhaps the closest feeling to actually being there.

Designed for reliability in every situation

In addition to sound quality, the NU-880K's construction makes it resistant to harsh environmental conditions. The capsule design prevents problems due to moisture, a rare feature among condenser microphones. Includes all necessary accessories for professional use: shock mount, 5-pin XLR cable, breakout box and hard case.
