Precision-engineered, large-diaphragm side-address microphone for professional live and studio applications.
The BETA27 side-address condenser microphone is precision engineered for professional sound reinforcement and project studio recording applications. Its flat frequency response and low self-noise provide unerring performance in demanding environments. A tight supercardioid pattern ensures high gain-before-feedback and maximum isolation from other sound sources.
Features
* Supercardioid polar pattern targets intended sound source with minimized bleed from off axis sound sources
* 1 inch, externally biased, ultra-thin, 2.5 m, 24 Karat gold-layered, low mass, Mylar[reg] diaphragm provides superior transient response
* Class A, discrete, transformerless preamplifier for transparency, extremely fast transient response, no crossover distortion, and minimal harmonic and intermodulation distortions
* Premium electronic components and gold-plated internal and external connectors
* Subsonic filter eliminates rumble from mechanical vibration below 17Hz
* Switchable 15dB pad for handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPLs)
* Three-position low-frequency filter switch reduces unwanted background noise or counteracts proximity effect
* Integrated three-stage "pop" protection grille reduces plosives and other breath noise
* Internal shock mount reduces handling and stand noise
Performance Characteristics
* Low self-noise
