uniquely cool choice for all your professional audio and
communication miking
needs. High Fidelity you
say? We think you'll agree.
The 34mm Von Braunmuhl
and Weber-style cardioid
transducer, coupled to a
discrete JFET impedance
converter with a high SPL­handling output circuit in­sures that the LSM will
effectively receive your
acoustic source and change
it to electrical and digital
impulse with due care, all
the while insuring that the
outermost parameters of
the circuitry itself do not interfere unduly with the sig­nal sanctity of your source.
Designed with the convenience of the ubiquitous USB
mini plug and a conventional three-pin mini XLR out­put, the LSM gives you two distinct ways to route your
signal, as well as an integrated yoke, which means the
LSM can stand freely upon a desktop, or mount to any

pocket, the LSM, with its petite form factor is ideal for
taking on the road wherever you go.

right to the heart of things: Hooking up new gear! So
let's get to it.

1. Ah yes: A new microphone. How cool is this! Take
out the mic and
let's have a look

2. For desktop
use, adjust the

ration of an astromech droid. The two knobs on either
side of the microphone are right-hand thread. To loosen,
twist the left knob away from you and the right knob to­wards you - this is the standard "lefty-loosey, righty­tighty" mnemonic imparted by technically-inclined
grandfathers. If the knobs are on there really tight, sim­ply hold the stand yoke with one hand while tipping the
microphone up and back away from you with the other.

3. To attach the LSM to a mic stand, there are 5/8-27
threads on the bottom of the stand yoke. That's a five­eights of an inch diameter hole with twenty-seven
