Knowing your microphone

Superlux provides variety selection of microphones for professionals and amatures. To
know your microphone is the first step to successful result.

Type of transducer

Condenser

Ex trem ely li ght we igh t d iap hra gm, ve ry
sensit ive to sound. Ver y sm all ve rsio ns
av ail abl e f or h idi ng appl ica tio ns. Hi gh
pe rfor manc e c onde nser mi crop hones are
regarded as standard equip ment of recording
studios for extreme detail capturing . Operates
with power, such as pha ntom or batter y.

Dynamics

Durable and simpl e structure, o perates in al l
kin ds o f environme nts. A go od d ynam ic
microphone is ca pable to operate at v ery high
sound pressure level without distorti on. Due to
structure lim it, dyn amics can not be built as
small as condenser, but dynamic s

doesn require power to operate.

About Frequency Response

Flat

Suitable fo r working at controlle d environment,
or fo r acousti c measurements. Al though pe ople
persuit flatnes s, but for non e-professio nals, it is
a challenge to makes it works as exp ectation.

Variable response

Incorporating switchable fil ters to elliminates
interference, such as sub-sonic filter to cut a ir­conditioner and floor vibration s. And all ows full
flat when used in controlled environment.

Popular curve response

Based on years o f pr actical experi ence of pro
users. The re are curves to be bu ild for var ious
applications, so that i t is very simple to use th e
mi cr op ho ne for t he p urp os e. L imi ti ng
bandwidth, and emphasing are typical skil l.

Directivity

Cardioid

Picks up most sign al on axis. Rejects side and
picks up le ast to the back. Suitable for live
sound re-inforceme nt. Apparent proximit y effect
and most sing er l ikes to take this bass boost
advantages which is not good for s peech.

Super Cardioid

Narrower t han c ardioid patt ern. Suitab le fo r
multi ple mic rophone setup . Least sens itive
angle point ing t oward side to rea r whe re most

Mounting the microphone

Pressure gra dient microph one is v ery s ensitive to vi bration. Sui table shock mo unt for hig h
performance microph one is necessary for extrem e low n oise recording. Sturdy stand can set the
microphone excatly at the sweet spot and k eep it there. Choose heavy duty microphone stand for
studio condenser microphone which weigh ts much more than h andle microph one.

Superlux provides wide range of microphone stands for va rious deman ds. Big Foot Willie is specially
developed for large condenser microphones that able to support 2 large microphon es w ith stereo
bracket for single point stereo recording.

Extension foot on al l th e 'E' versi ons serve to mo unt h eavy studio microphone i n limi t spa ce l ive
sound applications.

Maintainence

Condenser micro phone shal l be kept in low humidity env ironment fo r best so und performance. St ore
the conden ser microphones in airconditioned room or dehumidifier to keep away form moi sture.
Clean air is another importan t factor. Keep awa y from smoking en vironment t o avoid tar residuals.
