GENERAL

Designed to provide very clean and natural sound

reproduction while presenting a slim, neat appearance, the Model SM60 is also a very rugged and versatile microphone. The built-in wind and pop filter assures very effective control of breath noise and “popping” when the microphone is used close, and removes the need for add-on windscreens for outdoor use. The performance, small size, and ruggedness of the SM60 make it an ideal choice for on-camera or on-stage use by vocalists and M.C.’s, for studio and remote interviews, news, sports, and a variety of similar applications.

Microphone Features:

n Compact size, advanced styling, excellent hand-

ling feel.

n Smooth, natural sound from wide, slightly tailored

frequency response.

Built-in wind and “pop” filter to minimize breath and wind noise.

n Rugged-will retain its performance and hand-

some appearance even under severe field or stage use.

n Versatility-appearance and size suitable for the

most glamorous application, in the hand or on a stand-yet rugged enough for strenuous field and location use.
