Just came across a new Heiserman microphone in my instagram feed. The Type-19. No info on it except the picture. A quick google search found nothing on it. It looks very cool and modern, looks to be a center terminated capsule.
Maybe the Heiserman guys can tell us more.

For those of you that can't make it to NAMM, here's the info we'll have on hand: Come see (and hear) at Booth 15022 with Coil Audio and Stager Mics (ACC North Level 1). No price or release date yet... but it'll definitely be ready this year, and it'll be our most affordable mic so far

I’ve been in the market for some more drum overhead options. This might be the ticket!

I'm interested. I've been considering something that will switch from cardioid to figure 8 for things like drums. This is a condenser, right?
I'd like to know more about how you can be developing something for two years, I'm assuming to get a certain sound, and then say the capsule can be switched on request? So is it more about design than a sound profile? I'd think you'd want to target a capsule quality and stick with that for a particular mic.
(I get that with the 47 people might have wanted one style capsule over another, as Neumann had switched. )

(I get that with the 47 people might have wanted one style capsule over another, as Neumann had switched. ) Yes, this is a large diaphragm condenser. Much of the development time was spent getting the body right -- we were pushing the limits of how small an LDC can be, and it required a lot of revisions to make it work both mechanically and sonically, not to mention the internal shock mounting, and making it look cool

I guess you think of C414 with this body. Will it be very different from your 47fet?

Unfortunately, as I just mentioned to Brad a few minutes ago, it doesn't look like I'm going to make NAMM this year. Congrats though, and lots of luck with all the Heiserman products!!! I'll be keeping my eye(s) on this one!! Cheers, Bill PS - keep your eyes peeled for a NAMM LTL announcement!! Hope it will make it to "print" in time for NAMM.

I guess you think of C414 with this body. Will it be very different from your 47fet? The intention is for a fairly neutral circuit that allows the character of the capsule to shine, so with the hk47 capsule, it’s very much in the same tonal ballpark as our other mics, minus the tubes and big transformers.

I’m looking forward to chessparov’s review from NAMM Thanks for your kind words Brenta. IMHO I think I've gotten pretty good evaluating a vocal mic "in solo". But there are strong AE's-Like those already on this thread... Who can better evaluate microphones, in a mix, than me. Chris P.S. Hey that glowy thing, might help me find my next note!

This is very cool this mic exists! Matt and I had a conversation about this concept a couple years back and the mad scientists made it real.... I will need 4 of the 47 capsules and a pair of C12 please!

I hope this comes with a mic bag to fend off dust from that exposed capsule.
Would love to hear about this on toms or overheads. I guess guitar cabs too.

Simple field report.
The bottom end on this thing is like the full on pultect effect. The clarity is amazing. There is no smear. It will bblllloooowwwwwwwww you away! It should win a tec award.
