Description

Features

x Selectable polar patterns: The microphone's transducer uses a dual

diaphragm. This sophisticated technology allows you to select the optimum polar pattern (cardioid, omnidirectional, or figure eight) for every application.

x Gold-sputtered diaphragm: The diaphragm is made of a plastic foil that is

gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent shorting to the back electrode even at extremely high sound pressure levels.

x All-metal body: The all-metal body adds to the rejection of RF interference

so you can use the microphone near transmitter stations and along with wireless microphones or other communications equipment. The extremely rugged, heavy body and sturdy front grill protect the microphone from damage from tough handling on stage.

x High headroom, minimum distortion: Capable of handling sound

pressure levels up to 155 dB without introducing perceptible distortion and built to resist high temperatures and humidity, the microphone will give excellent results in a wide range of applications.

x Polar pattern selector: Selector 1 on the microphone front sets the

microphone polar pattern to cardioid, omnidirectional, or figure eight.

x Switchable preattenuation pad: Selector 2 on the microphone rear lets

you increase the headroom by 20 dB for distortionfree close-in recording. The preattenuation pad prevents the microphone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from overloading the miniature transformers used in many mixer input stages, etc.

x Bass cut filter: Selector 3 on the microphone rear further reduces low-end

distortion caused by footfall or wind noise, etc. The filter also minimizes the proximity effect that close-in miking from less than 4 inches causes in any unidirectional microphone. The filter rolls off at 12 dB/octave from 300 Hz downward.
