DYNAMIC
MICROPHONES
At Spirit we know how important a
good microphone is to your sound.
That’s because with over 2 million
high quality mic inputs on Spirit
consoles already and 25 years
experience in mixer design, we are all
too aware of the importance of the
first link in the audio chain, the
microphone.
Made to the highest standards in
Europe, Spirit VM and IM dynamics
are the first low cost microphones
guaranteed to meet the high
specifications of our consoles, both at
home and on the road. In fact, we are
so confident that they will meet these
high standards that we will
recommend them for any other
mixer you care to use.

Here are just a few reasons why a
Spirit dynamic should be your first
choice of microphone:
1 Better Sound Quality
All Spirit dynamic microphones are designed
to give the best possible performance. They
are electronically balanced to eliminate those
irritating buzzing sounds that can be
generated on stage from
other electrical
equipment. They are
low impedance too,
which means you can
run cable lengths of up
to 300 metres (1000 feet)
without losing sound
quality. Unlike some other
mic connectors, a
professional locking XLR
improves signal quality and guarantees you
won't go “dead” in the middle of a
performance.
2 More Rugged, More Robust
Spirit mics are made in Europe to rigorous
standards, utilising a metal cast alloy body
with a strong wiremesh mic housing. That
means they will withstand the abuse you’ll
give them on the road, without falling apart
at the first opportunity. They’ll also take a
punishing 150dB SPL without breaking
up - so you can belt it out as loud as
you want, without having to worry.
3 Greater Feedback Rejection
Many low cost mics are prone to feedback
and background noise because they are
Omnidirectional, meaning they pick up
sounds equally from every direction. The
Spirit IM01 has a cardioid (directional)
pattern so you get less interference from
other instruments, greater feedback rejection
and a better performance on stage. Even
more unique, the VM01 and VM01S have a
Hyper-Cardioid response, which gives the
greatest directionality and the least
interference of any mic at this price. This is
essential for vocalists as they are the most
prone to feedback from the PA and wedge
monitors. As an extra precaution, the VM01S
comes with a switch so you can turn it off if
feedback occurs.
4 Greater Sensitivity
Spirit dynamic microphones have greater
sensitivity than other mics at this price. This
means you can use them even with low gain
equipment, or plug them into line inputs if
you have to. They are also ideal for quieter
performances, where subtlety is important.
The Neodymium magnet material used in the
mic capsules gives more accurate
response at low levels, compared
with standard designs.
5 Less Rumble,
Less Mic Popping
During a performance there is
nothing worse than low
frequency rumble that can result
from handling and cable noise.
All Spirit mics come with built
in suspension to dampen these effects. Both
VM and IM mics also come with an integrated
wind and pop screen as standard, to
maximise the potential of your vocal
performance.
6 The extras you want –
as standard
For hands-free performances,
you can fit VM01s and IM01s to
a stand using Spirit’s dual-thread
microphone adaptor. We have also included
an applications guide in the box to help
you get the best out of your purchase.
Spirit mics are supplied in a foam-lined
travelling box, protecting them on
and off
the road.
