512 Audio Tempest.
The 512 Audio Tempest brings true large-diaphragm studio sound to a simple desktop USB setup. Featuring a vintage-inspired 34mm gold-plated condenser capsule, the Tempest captures rich, detailed audio with tight lows, nuanced mids, and pristine highs across a full 20Hz–20kHz frequency range.
Designed for professional recording and streaming, the Tempest is ideal for podcasts, livestreams, voiceovers, vocals, acoustic instruments, and other recording applications. Its fixed cardioid pickup pattern focuses on the sound source in front of the microphone while helping reject unwanted ambient noise from the sides and rear.
The Tempest connects directly to a computer via USB-C and delivers 24-bit / 48kHz high-resolution audio without requiring an additional audio interface. Built-in controls include microphone gain, headphone volume, zero-latency direct monitoring, and mute, giving you convenient control over your recording or stream without additional software.
The microphone comes ready for a variety of setups with a premium desktop stand, durable hardmount, and professional shockmount for use with a microphone stand or boom arm.
