MicroBoom
OVERVIEW:
The MicroBoom™ is available in three models, the MICROBOOM24,
which is 24 inches (609 mm) long, MICROBOOM50, which is 50 inches
(1270 mm) long and the MICROBOOM84, which is 84 inches (2134 mm)
long. They are each made from a carbon ber rod that can be utilized
with any of the condenser microphones in the Micros series. Lightweight
and able to attach to any microphone stand, the MicroBoomTM, is a
problem solver for many hard-to-reach miking applications including
choir, plays, and orchestra.
The MicroBoom™ can used with a choice of capsules in the Micros
series, offering a broad choice of pick-up pattern and frequency
response. High quality shielded cable is used internally to insure the
cleanest audio signal path between the microphone and the bottom
of the boom, which terminates in a mini-XLR male connector. The
stand adapter designed for the MicroBoom™ allows for total control
over the angle, rotation, and position of the carbon ber rod. A metal
thumbscrew locks the rod rmly in place. The nal angle and position
of the microphone is controlled by using the exible metal gooseneck
just below the microphone. The MicroBoom™ provides an ultra-
clean, professional, and elegant appearance on stage while providing
exceptional performance and portability.
