Ideal for vocal performance, Karaoke, public
speaking and DJ applications, the new R11 is an
affordable dynamic mic offering professional per­formance and quality at every level. The R11 fea­tures a hypercardioid polar pattern for maximum
feedback rejection and a neodymium magnet for
the higher output required in today’s live perfor­mance applications. Its transformerless design with
a low impedance voice coil produces and expand­ed low frequency response. The R11 also includes
a handy on/off switch and a metal die cast case
with steel mesh windscreen for ruggedness and
long life.

ARCHITECT’S & ENGINEER’S

SPECIFICATION

The microphone shall be of a dynamic
type with hypercardioid polar pattern. The
microphone shall provide its output on a male
XLR-type connector. Output impedance shall
be 600 ohms.

The microphone shall be constructed of a
zinc casing and shall contain a triple-plated
multi-stage windscreen and noise filter for the
removal of pops, sibilance and onstage noise,
an aluminum humbucking voice coil for the
elimination of magnetic field interference and
true hum rejection, a Neoprene transformer
cover for the reduction of microphonics, a
high-output Neodymium element, and a multi­axis shock-mount to minimize handling noise.

The microphone shall be equipped with
an On/Off switch. The microphone shall have
frequency response from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, sen­sitivity of -71 dBV at 94 dB SPL, and a maxi­mum SPL of 137 dB. Dimensions shall be 1.8

″

(46 mm) head length, 4.2″ (107 mm) main
unit length and 6

″ (152 mm) total length.

Weight shall be 10.5 oz. (300 g). The micro­phone shall carr y a three-year warranty.

The microphone shall be a SAMSON R11.
