The AKG MB4 is a miniature boundary microphone for multi miking applications such as teleconferencing, distance learning, boardrooms, courtrooms, and TV or theatrical applications. The miniature, low-profile designs virtually disappear when installed, yet provide the same great sound as our highly-acclaimed PCC® microphone series.

Description

AKG MB4 Miniature Boundary Layer Supercardioid Polar Pattern MB Series Microphone

The AKG MB4 is a miniature boundary microphone for multi miking applications such as teleconferencing, distance learning, boardrooms, courtrooms, and TV or theatrical applications. Double-sided sticky tape is provided for attaching the unit under shelves, on walls, etc. Thanks to its supercardioid pickup pattern, the MB4 greatly reduces ambient noise and pickup of room reverberation. The result is a clearer sound. The MB4 has a 15-foot attached cable leading to an XLR-type output connector with built-in mic electronics. It is powered by 12-48V phantom power, and is low impedance balanced. The MB4E is the same, but without the electronics/connector.

Featuring an incredibly small size, the MB Series of mini-boundary™, super cardioid microphones from Crown® offer a wide range of features and flexibility. The miniature, low-profile designs virtually disappear when installed, yet provide the same great sound as our highly-acclaimed PCC® microphone series. Best of all, the MB Series provides substantial savings compared to traditional microphones. Designed with the help of leading audio consultants and contractors, the MB Series is a comprehensive system of microphones and electronics that's perfect for a wide range of applications. The MB System lets you mix and match microphones as needed for multiple configurations.

Features

  • Ideal for teleconferencing, distance learning, boardrooms and courtrooms
  • Has a 15-foot attached cable leading to an XLR-type output connector with built-in mic electronics
  • Half-supercardioid polar pattern reduces feedback, room acoustics and background noise
  • Clear, natural sound
  • Small and inconspicuous
  • Can be used without putting holes in the table
  • Clean, clear, natural sound
  • Low-Z balanced output prevents hum and high-frequency loss
  • Switches can be internally programmed for touch-on/touch-off, momentary on, or momentary off
  • Remote sensing of switch closure (in MB-200 interface)
  • Removable grille assembly can be painted
