PREMIUM SOUND.
HEAD-TURNING PERFORMANCE.

Hummingbird is a versatile, precision-engineered Class A small-diaphragm microphone that unlocks the tonal nuances of your instruments so you can capture the best recordings possible.

MIC PLACEMENT IS EVERYTHING

Discover new tonal colors of your instruments by simply rotating Hummingbird‰Ûªs head.
