DDeessccrriippttiioonn
The Studio Pro M1 is a large format
side-address condenser microphone
with a unique frequency and
transient response. Users will
recognize the quality of the
microphone immediately by its
distinctive studio sound. It is an
excellent choice for most
applications in studios, for
broadcasting, film and television.
SPECIFICATIONS Peavey Studio Pro™M1
SPECIFICATIONS Studio Pro™M1
The Studio Pro M1 can be used as a main
microphone for orchestra recordings, as
a spot mic for single instruments, and as
a vocal microphone for all types of music
and speech.
The frequency response of the cardioid
characteristic is very flat for frontal
sound incidence, even in the upper
frequency range. The microphone can be
used very close to a sound source
without the sound becoming unnaturally
harsh. By means of a switchable highpass filter, interference through subsonic
and low frequencies are reduced
remarkably. As such, this switch cuts the
low frequency response reducing the
proximity effect.
An additional switch is added for use in
high sound pressure level applications.
This 10 dB attenuation switch enables
the microphone to handle sound
pressure levels up to 140 dB.
OOppeerraattiioonn
Position the microphone so that the side
with the LED and Peavey logo faces the
source. The M1 is equipped with two
switches, one for high SPL applications
and the other for reduction in proximity
effect or to reduce low frequencies that
can make an instrument sound dull or
muddy. The M1 is equipped with a swivel
mount to secure the microphone to a
floor or boom stand. The internal shock
mount provides good isolation, but for
greater reduction of noise from external
vibrations use the optional elastic shock
mount which can be purchased from
your local authorized Peavey dealer.
