MODEL CM68 UNIDIRECTIONAL DYNAMIC MICROPHONE
INSTRUCTIONS
MODEL CM68
The Carvin CM68 is a rugged unidirectional microphone with a highly effective
built-in wind and “pop” filter.
The CM68 is Carvin’s finest hand held microphone designed for the vocalist
requiring a tight, natural sound with crisp highs and strong bass without
boominess. We recommend this microphone to performers who work close to their
mics, where high volumes can be obtained without distortion or explosive breath
“pop’s”. An excellent choice for club use, rock singers, or any vocalist requiring
the best in vocal reproductions. Designed for high end studio recording and
broadcast applications.
Microphone Features:
■ Bright, clean sound.
■ Spherical filter to control explosive breath sounds (“pop”) and wind noise in
outdoor locations.
■ Wind and “pop” filter readily removable for cleaning or replacement.
■ Effective cardioid pickup pattern to minimize background noise and undesirable
effects of studio and location acoustics. Rear and side rejection uniform to very low
frequencies and completely symmetrical about microphone axis.
■ Versatility - designed for both stage and studio use.
■ Cartridge shock-mounted for protection.
■ Includes professional 20’ XLR cable.
Polar Pattern
Cardioid — rotationally symmetrical about microphone axis, uniform with
frequency (see Figure 2)
