General
The M86 and M87 are professional and reliable super cardioid dynamic microphones which are perfect suited for on stage use.
They are solid constructed with a robust grill to protect the diafragm against
rough handling, and are suited for indoor as well as outdoor use.
The high sensitive neodymium element ensures a perfect reproduction of
music and speech which will be loved by a wide variation of singers and musicians. This makes them the perfect microphones for performers and instruments.. Due to the unidirectional (supercardioid) polar pattern, the feedback is
reduced to a strict minimum.
The M86 and M87 are both exactly the same microphones with the same specifi cations, except the on/off switch which is only provided on the M87.
Features
• Rugged vocal/instrumental microphone
• High quality dynamic microphone capsule
• Super cardioid pick-up pattern with excellent rejection of off-axis sound
• Advanced shock mount system that minimizes transmission of mechanical
noise and vibration
• Sturdy metal grill and body
• On/Off switch (M87 only)
General rules for use
• Aim the microphone toward the desired sound source (talker, singer, instru
ment) and away from unwanted sources.
• Place the microphone as close as practical and hold it on a constant distance
to the desired sound source.
• Work close to the microphone for extra bass response.
• Use only one microphone to pick up a single sound source.
• Use the fewest number of microphones as practical
• Keep the distance between microphones at least three times the distance
from each microphone to it’s source.
• Place microphones as far as possible from refl ective surfaces.
• Add a windscreen when using the microphone outdoors (MC50)
