SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be a pre-polarized
condenser designed for permanent
installation or portable applications. It
shall have a microphone capsule with a
cardioid polar pattern with uniform 120°
angle of acceptance (-3dB). It shall have a
frequency response of 50 Hz to 20,000 Hz
and be capable of handling sound input
levels up to 130 dBspl. Nominal equiva-
lent noise level shall be 26 dBA (37 dB
weighted as per CCIR 468-3). Output shall
be low impedance balanced (<100 ohms).
Operating temperature shall be 32° to
104° F (0° to 40° C). The microphone shall
operate from an external 12V to 48V DC
phantom power source; current consump-
tion shall be 3 mA. The microphone shall
offer radio frequency interference (RFI)
shielding against intermodulation from
wireless equipment or devices. The
microphone shall be a gooseneck design
ensuring precise alignment of the
microphone and noiseless operation. It
shall incorporate a self-contained power
module with an XLR3M-type connector at
the base.
