Specifications

Note:

•

All specification values are based on using a typical bodypack with 5 V bias input or the RPM400MTQG preamplifier.

When using the RPM400LEMO amplifier, refer to the RPM400LEMO specifications.

•

All specifications measured with a 48 Vdc phantom power supply. The microphone operates at lower voltages, but with

slightly decreased headroom and sensitivity.
