Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Luna was a large-diaphragm FET condenser with a transformer-coupled output.

M-Audio Luna circuitIt was replaced in the M-Audio product line in 2008 by the Luna II, which added a switchable pad and high-pass filter.

Sound on Sound, 2004

In sonic terms it sits just on the flattering side of neutral. It suits most vocal types and delivers a well-balanced combination of warmth and clarity, with minimal noise and more than enough sensitivity for all normal studio applications.

The Luna shipped with a shockmount (p/n SM-4) and an aluminum flightcase.

The mic was released in 2003.
