ARCHITECTS' SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be a moving coil (dynamic) type with a frequency response of 150 to 10,000 Hz measured at 1m (39.4 in.), 25" from a sound source and mounted on a flat surface. The unit shall have a free field cardioid polar characteristic. The cancellation at the sides shall be 6 dB while the cancellation at the rear shall be 15 to 20 dB. The microphone shall have low impedance with a rated impedance of 150 ohms for connection to microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms.
The microphone output shall be -53.0 dB where 0 dB = 1 milliwatt per 10 microbars.
The microphone shall be designed for use on a flat surface such as an altar or tabletop. The microphone shall be set at 10" from the horizontal in an open-cell acoustic foam shock mount enclosure that shall be brown or white. The microphone shall be equipped with a 2.7m (9 ft.) two-conductor shielded cable, either brown or white to match the enclosure. The cable shall be terminated with a right-angle, three-pin professional audio connector (male) designed to mate with Cannon XL series, Switchcraft A3 (Q.G.) series, or equivalent connector.
The overall dimensions of the microphone shall be 44.5 mm (1% in.) in height, 47.6 mm (1% in.) in width, and 89 mm (3% in.) in depth.
The microphone shall be the Shure Model SMIBB, SMIBW, or equivalent.
