Intended for use in live performance applications, these are designed for use close to acoustic or amplified instruments.
An 'introductory microphone for amplified and acoustic instruments' the MB 2k is a unidirectional, dynamic design offering 'outstanding off-axis rejection and feedback control'. Its frequency response is tailored for optimal instrument pickup. It has a neodymium magnet structure for 'maximum output and fast transient response', a 'MagnaLock' 'silent' on/off switch, all-metal construction and a soft-touch finish. Output: Balanced, 3-pin male XLR connector.Supplied without cable. Impedance: 600 ohms. Response: 60Hz-14kHz, sensitivity: -54dB (1.9mV) re 1V at 1 Pa. Dimensions: 184mm long, 41.4mm head diameter. Weight: 337g.
Included accessories: AT8470 stand clamp for 5/8 inch thread, 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch threaded adapter, soft protective pouch.
This dynamic hypercardioid design is 'tailored for kick drum, percussion, brass, and other highly dynamic instruments'. It delivers a 'warm low-frequency response with excellent presence' and 'excels in high-SPL applications'. Its hypercardioid polar pattern improves isolation of the sound source, delivering off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback. The included isolation clamp offers 'versatile mounting options and effective dampening of mechanical noise'. Output: Balanced, 3-pin male XLR connector. Supplied without cable. Impedance: 600 ohms. Response: 30Hz-12kHz, sensitivity: -54dB (1.9mV) re 1V at 1 Pa. Dimensions: 113mm long, 50mm maximum head diameter. Weight: 230g.
Included accessories: AT8471 isolation clamp for 5/8 inch thread, 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch threaded adapter, soft protective pouch.
