Microphones

Professional condenser microphone with supercardioid characteristic:The high-quality condenser microphones from MIPRO are characterised by a very high sound quality, which is achieved by the high sensitivity, coupled with an extremely low self-noise and a wide dynamic range of the microphone capsules. The specially developed multi-layer microphone baskets reduce pop noise without colouring the sound and the flexible microphone capsule suspension reduces structure-borne noise and handling noise. The wired and wireless microphones from MIPRO are therefore ideally suited for all speech and vocal applications as well as for miking instruments.The MM-80 is a condenser vocal microphone used by demanding amateur musicians, professional singers and sound engineers. The consistent supercardioid characteristic isolates the voice from background noise such as an adjacent instrument and minimises feedback. The multi-layer metal grille protects the capsule from mechanical damage and at the same time prevents annoying pop noises in vocal applications. With phantom power from 12 - 48 V, the microphone achieves maximum sensitivity and precise sound reproduction. The specially developed microphone capsule suspension prevents disturbing structure-borne noise. The supercardioid polar pattern guarantees optimum directivity and exceptional resistance to feedback. Typical of a high-quality condenser microphone - it sounds very clear, brilliant and rich in detail without losing punch in the sound. The microphone is suitable for vocal and instrumental applications on stage, in the studio and for other presentations.

The e 845s is a high-quality vocal microphone with a supercardioid pickup pattern and a wide high-frequency range that is particularly suitable for stage use.

It is equipped with a large double diaphragm capsule with omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-of-eight polar patterns, which are selected via a switch on the capsule head. A switch at the rear provides a 10 dB pre-attenuation. This allows the microphone to transmit sound pressure levels of up to 127 dB without distortion. Furthermore, the frequency response can be reduced in the low frequencies, e.g. to compensate for the proximity effect. It is equally suitable for a large number of applications in radio, television, film and sound recording technology. In orchestral recordings it is used as the main microphone and as a support microphone for individual instruments, but mainly as a vocal microphone in all music genres.

The MKH 50 offers a higher diffuse sound and side attenuation than the cardioid. It is preferably used as a soloist and support microphone when high demands are placed on lateral suppression and feedback resistance. The frequency-independent directional characteristic allows for greater support without affecting the tonal balance.

The AKG C7 handheld condenser microphone delivers premium studio sound quality and worry-free operation on any stage. The sound of the voice is reproduced unadulterated and with crisp highs, putting both lead singers and backing vocalists in the spotlight. Thanks to the specially developed sound technology and customised components, the C7 reduces feedback and pop noise to a minimum. No matter what stage it is used on, the C7 delivers premium sound and guarantees absolute reliability. This allows artists to concentrate on the essentials, namely their performance.AKG CONDENSER SOUND IN A CLASS OF ITS OWN:At the heart of the microphone is a hand-selected, finely tuned condenser capsule with a supercardioid characteristic.The sound of the voice is reproduced unadulterated and with crisp highs. The C7 can handle even the highest sound pressure levels, ensuring unrivalled fidelity even with very loud ambient noise.OPEN-SPACE CAPSULE TECHNOLOGY:The innovative open-space capsule technology ensures a frequency-independent, highly linear supercardioid polar pattern. This ensures maximum feedback immunity and minimises crosstalk with other instruments.INTEGRATED PROPRIETARY CAPSULE BEARING:The C7 is equipped with a proprietary elastic bearing that protects against unwanted structure-borne sound transmission. The capsule sits on a special rubber mount that effectively keeps unwanted vibrations away from the capsule.MULTI-DIMENSIONAL PROTECTION SYSTEM AGAINST POP NOISE:The C7 has a three-layer system that reliably protects against popping noises. The system consists of the actual protective grille, dense foam under the protective grille and an additional layer just above the capsule, thereby protecting it from even strong popping noises.ROBUST CONSTRUCTION:With its robust construction made of a special metal alloy and a protective grille made of spring steel, the C7 masters even the toughest demands of everyday touring. A 24-carat gold coating protects the capsule from moisture and corrosion.

The PGADRUMKIT4 is an inexpensive, 4-piece drum microphone set. It contains special microphones for miking bass drum, snare, toms and percussion. The set consists of a PGA52 bass drum microphone, two PGA56 drum microphones and a PGA57 instrument microphone as well as two clamps, four XLR cables and a carrying case.

A dynamic microphone specially developed for voice applications, which is ideal for podcasts, streaming and for use in broadcast, radio play and dubbing studios: it sounds detailed, full, silky and balanced. Thanks to the XLR and USB connection, the PodMic USB White can be used flexibly. Either in the classic way via XLR with a good preamp/audio interface or digitally via the USB-C socket with the microphone signal into a computer or a smart or iPhone®. The audio interface built into the PodMic USB White is first-class - with an ultra-low-noise high-gain preamp and audiophile A/D converters. The DSP chip built into the PodMic USB White is spectacular and extremely helpful. This allows the speaker signal to be given a highly professional sound in the microphone with a high-pass filter, noise gate, compressor and Aphex®.To the left of the USB-C connection is a 3.5 mm headphone socket so that you can hear yourself without latency during recording (direct monitoring). The headphone volume control has an integrated push button that can be used to switch from direct monitoring to computer signal. An LED under the USB-C connection indicates the respective status: green=microphone signal (direct monitoring) and red=signal from the computer or mobile device. Weighing just under 1 kg, the PodMic USB White has a fork mount that allows it to be attached to a table stand or microphone arm and then conveniently aligned towards the speaker. There is no need to use a spider, the microphone capsule itself is elastically suspended and the swivelling mount is internally decoupled from the body so that there are no problems with structure-borne noise. The PodMic USB White is used from the front, a distance of approx. 3 to 20 cm is ideal. As a dynamic microphone, the PodMic USB White is much less sensitive than a condenser microphone - ideal for studios and recording rooms where ambient noise is a problem.The PodMic USB White can be updated with the latest firmware using the free RØDE Central configuration software. RØDE Central is also used to make the desired DSP settings in the microphone. Once made, the selected settings are retained. Note: Due to its special circuitry, the PodMic USB White does not tolerate phantom power via XLR. Although it does not break, it delivers a level that is far too low when 48 volts are applied. This is not a defect. If you want to use the PodMic USB White in analogue mode via XLR with an audio interface (there is absolutely no reason not to), you should make sure that phantom power is not activated at the relevant input. The housing of the PodMic USB White is made of solid brass, the double-layered microphone capsule is made of stainless steel. The microphone is manufactured at RØDE's headquarters in Silverwater, Sydney. It comes with an attachable foam pop shield and a 3 metre USB-C to USB-C cable.

The TF39 Copperhead Deluxe is an extension of the Copperhead microphone with a K67-style dual diaphragm capsule that allows you to choose between cardioid, omnidirectional and figure-of-eight polar patterns. This additional range of functions gives the TF39 more flexibility and options in the studio than the TF29. In terms of sound and components, the two microphones are otherwise identical.The TF39 is equipped with a new 5654 W vacuum tube from old stock (new old stock), a K67-type metal capsule and a high-quality Swedish Lundahl output transformer. These components ensure a balanced frequency response and natural tonality and make the TF39 a good choice.

Whether for voices or instruments, at concerts, television appearances or in the studio, the microphone is an elementary part of the connection between an artist and their audience. A microphone can do much more than just convert sound into electrical impulses: It can give you goose bumps, make you scream, make your eyes sparkle, move you to tears, trigger enthusiasm, touch your soul and much more. In addition to natural sound, a microphone can also convey an incredible amount of emotion. All the more reason for beyerdynamic to build the best microphones.The microphones in the Touring Gear series present themselves as a complete product range with a new design and clear structure: TG for Touring Gear is followed by the letter of the respective application area - V for Vocal, H for Headsets, L for Lavalier, D for Drums, I for Instruments. The first digit indicates the respective categories, the following letter the microphone type - d for dynamic, c for condenser and r for ribbon microphones. An additional s stands for models with a switch. Touring Gear - that's the sound of craftsmanship from beyerdynamic, Germany.

The Genelec GLM kit enables the calibration and control of studio monitors from the SAM series (Smart Active Monitor). The network interface is connected to a PC or Mac via USB. The speakers are connected via standard CAT cables (RJ45). The Genelec GLM software makes it easy to configure setups.Up to 80 speakers and subwoofers can be managed. Measurements are taken via the calibrated measuring microphone at the listening position. The AutoCal algorithm then automatically determines filter settings to compensate for room influences. Levels, delay times and the phase position to subwoofers are also adjusted. Each parameter can be edited manually. Finally, settings can be saved in the loudspeakers. If the network interface remains connected, there is access to monitor controller functions.Volume control, group switching or solo and mute functions are available directly via GLM. A wired volume control (Genelec 9310AM) or a remote control (Genelec 9101AM) are optionally available. No PC/Mac is required for use as a volume controller. A USB power supply for the network interface is sufficient.The full MIDI implementation allows the GLM software to be used as a convenient monitor controller. It offers fast and smooth control of monitors such as playback volume, activation of mutes, calling up volume presets, switching bass management on and off and switching monitor groups.

The M-81 is the latest addition to the TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik family of dynamic microphones. The microphone was designed not only to complement the M80 (TELEFUNKEN Elektroakustik's first dynamic microphone), but also to stand out from the crowd of other dynamic microphones on offer.Since the M80 was first introduced in 2008, it has quickly become a "bestseller" in both live and studio applications. With its clear and detailed sound in the treble range, articulate midrange and minimal proximity effect, the microphone has won the hearts (and especially the ears) of thousands of new users, becoming the microphone of choice for vocal and drum applications in particular and is now the best-known microphone in the TELEFUNKEN product line.Based on the outstanding characteristics of the M80, the TELEFUNKEN M81 also has the same minimal proximity effect, superior feedback shielding and a very clear and distinct mid-range. In the upper treble range, the response of the M81 has been slightly reduced so that the microphone has a smoother and more even frequency response. As a result, with the M81 you get a microphone with a clear and smooth sound that is ideal for brighter vocals and guitars, percussion and brass.The customised frequency response of the TELEFUNKEN M81 also makes this microphone an excellent choice for electric guitars, percussion, drum toms and brass instruments. The wide application range and the stable and reliable design make it the workhorse for a whole new generation.With the same tube body finish and chrome capsule protector as the R-F-T AR-51, the M81 is instantly recognisable. Much of the design of the M81 is based on the AR-51. Great care was taken in tuning the M81 to make it comparable to the AR-51, especially when recording electric guitars.In general, it can be said that the design of the M81 is particularly suitable for... well, actually for all applications. It really is a "universal dynamic microphone".
