• Wide, extended and generally more linear frequency response • Detailed, clear sound with good high frequency response • Sensitive with good transient response • Phantom powered (+ 48 V) • High output levels means less gain required at the mixer
1 of 25
Dynamic Microphone
• More colouration in the frequency response • Good for high SPL’s (high volume) • Slow transient response • Robust and reliable • Quite low output needing high gain at mixer • Low level of performer handling noise
2 of 25
Omnidirectional Polar Pattern
• Exhibit a wide, flat, extended frequency response • Give good pickup of low and high frequencies • Will pick up a lot of room reverberation • Poor isolation of sound source • Not affected by proximity effect
3 of 25
Cardioid Polar Pattern
• Rejects reverberation, background noise and spill • Gives better isolation • Good for stereo coincident or near- coincident miking • Exhibits the proximity effect
