DESCRIPTION

The HCU350 is a specially-designed, high-output condenser microphone that
delivers high performance, reliability, and accurate pickup for both vocal and
instrument sound. It is an excellent choice for professional recordings, live per­formances, and other critical sound reinforcement applications.

The HCU350 is a uni-directional microphone offering a minimum sensitivity at an
angle of 180 degrees while reducing pickup of sounds from the rear. Its polar pat­tern focuses on the desired sound source while suppressing unwanted ambient
noise and feedback, and ensures a clean separation between individual instru­ments. It incorporates a transformerless electronic circuit that delivers high-out­put, low self-noise, and high sound pressure handling.This circuit reduces distor­tion at high acoustic pressures and minimizes interference that may affect the bal­anced audio signal.

Light but ruggedly constructed, the HCU350 is built to withstand the rigors of
heavy field and studio usage. It comes in a rubberized black finish that defers
reflection and halation from stage lights.It also features an excellent shock-mount
system for effective isolation from the handling noise and vibration typically found
in live performances. Its XLR connector can be easily mated to standard micro­phone cables. The HCU350 requires an external 9 - 52V DC phantom power
source.
