Instrument Microphones

The C214 large-diaphragm condenser microphone has been designed as a cost-effective alternative to the high-end C414 family.

The AKG C414 XLII version differs from the C414 XLS version in one major respect the capsule.

The C414 XLII reference multi-pattern condenser microphone offers a choice of nine polar patterns for the perfect sonic capture for every application.

The Audio-Technica AT5047 is a premier studio microphone that is equally at home with vocals and instruments. Boasting an exceptionally wide dynamic range – the greatest among all Audio-Technica microphones – the AT5047 captures the full, expressive character of a sound source, no matter how loud or how soft.

The Audix M1250B is a miniaturized cardioid condenser microphone with a fully integrated preamp, detachable cable and has RF immunity to prevent interference from cell phone and GSM devices. The M1250B is also available with hypercardioid, omni or shotgun capsules, giving the microphone the ability to be used in a wide variety of applications.

The Shure BETA 181 Ultra-Compact Side-Address Microphone is a precision-engineered, versatile condenser instrument microphone with interchangeable polar pattern capsule options.

The Sennheiser MKH 8020 Omnidirectional Instrument Microphone is ideal for recording large and small sound sources, for a “Decca Tree” or for use in an OSS “Jecklin Disk” array. As it does not suffer from a proximity effect, it is also a good choice for close-miking.

The Sennheiser MKH 8040 Versatile Cardioid Microphone is suitable for almost any application. It considerably reduces pick-up of a reverberant room. This is very helpful in rooms with poor acoustics or when disturbing sounds impinge mainly from the rear.

The Sennheiser MKH 8050 Supercardioid Instrument Microphone will give higher attenuation of off-axis sound from the side than its cardioid sister model. It is a good choice for recording soloists, where the requirements for lateral acoustic separation are higher.
