Studio Condenser Microphones and Preamps:

• CM3:

  Small size sub-cardioid condenser microphone.
  

  This little microphone has a natural, detailed and balanced response. Perfect for natural reproduction of acoustical instruments such as members of the bowed and plucked string-families, grand piano, brass, percussion, overhead choir and voice -with a minimum of colouration. The response is smooth and flat even at an angle. The CM3 is tough enough to handle drums with full depth and punch, drum overhead clearly and crisp without strain. It even handles amplified instruments. It's suitable for professional studio and PA use, with a pricetag at the hobbyist level. It's very small size (about the same as a normal XLR plug) makes it easy to place, without being in the way. Its size and black colour makes it close to invisible on stage. During manufacturing each capsule is measured, selected and trimmed to close tolerances. Out of range capsules are rejected. This in combination with the internal circuitry, results in a response with a unique flatness. These are quality microphones made for demanding situations. Windshield and holder/clip included (as shown). Hand-Made in Sweden. Specifications: TYPE: prepolarised cardioid condenser microphone. Frequency response: 20-20000Hz (100-16000Hz+-1dB on axis!) Phantom power: 12 - 48V current consumption: 3.5 mA Impedance: <100 Ohm Sensitivity: 6mV/PA -44dB S/N ratio (DIN/CCIR): 78dB(A)/68dB Noise level: 16dB(A) Max SPL: 135dB @0.5% THD (130dB@24V, 120dB @ 12V) Size: 77mm x 20mm .

• SM3i:

  Cardioid condenser microphone (single cartridge / 3membranes).
  

  Large membrane area using triple small membranes. The triple membrane cartridge combines the low noise of a large membrane with the fast and detailed response of smaller membranes, which besides their fine tonal quality are tougher and not as easilly destroyed. Well balanced, uncoloured response, covering the full audio spectrum. Solid deep bass, natural midrange and silksoft top ensures that all qualities of the source and ambience are captured with minimal distortion. Switchable gentle low cut shelving filter to compensate for the proximity effect of the Cardioid pattern. Switchable 120Hz 12dB/oct Highpass filter. Switchable gain/PAD: 0 or -18dB. Elastic holder and protective case included. Hand-Made in Sweden. Specifications: TYPE: Prepolarized condenser microphone. PHANTOM POWER: 40-52V. FREQ. RESPONSE: 20 - 20000 Hz (70-15000Hz +-1.2dB on axis!). IMPEDANCE: < 100 Ohm 1KHz. SENSITIVITY: 10mV/PA (SM3L/ST6L 7mV/PA -44dB. S/N RATIO: (DIN/CCIR) 83dB(A)/73dB. NOISE LEVEL: 11dB(A). MAX SPL: 130dB. CURRENT CONSUMPTION: 3.5 mA. CONNECTOR: 3 PIN XLR (pin1 GND, pin 2+, pin3 -). SIZE: 140mm x 47mm. WEIGHT: 320g (microphone only).

• SM6i:

  Multipattern condenser microphone (Omni, Cardioi, Fig-8. Double cartridges / 6 membranes).
  

  Double sets of our triple membrane cartridges (totally 6 membranes) are used to achieve switchable omni, cardioid and figure 8 patterns. The triple membrane cartridge combines the low noise of a large membrane with the fast and detailed response of smaller membranes, which besides their fine tonal quality are tougher and not as easilly destroyed. Well balanced, uncoloured response, covering the full audio spectrum. Solid deep bass, natural midrange and silksoft top ensures that all qualities of the source and ambience are captured with minimal distortion. Switchable gentle low cut shelving filter to compensate for the proximity effect of the Cardioid and Fig-8 patterns. Switchable 120Hz 12dB/oct Highpass filter. Switchable gain/PAD: 0 or -18dB.

• QM12i:

  QM12i QUAD / Multipattern multichannel microphone (Quadruple cartridges / 12 membranes).
  

  This microphone is actually four complete/independent SM3s in one body with each membrane angled at 90 degrees. Typically ordered with 5 meters of cable (with QM12 multiconnector to 4x XLR wip), inquire for other lengths. Well balanced, uncoloured response, covering the full audio spectrum. Solid deep bass, natural midrange and silksoft top ensures that all qualities of the source and ambience are captured with minimal distortion. QM12i picks up true QUADRAPHONIC/SURROUND. With external matrixing, the following stereo and mono patterns: Stereo: BLUMLEIN (crossed figure eight), M/S, Omni X/Y. Mono: Any pattern between OMNI-CARDIOID-SUPER CARDIOD-FIGURE EIGHT. Recordings can be made Quadraphonically with the stereomatrix manipulated at a later stage, finding out the best settings not before recording, but afterwards. This reduce the risk of mistakes and enables post production perfection of the stereo image/ambience, not possible with standard techniques. Elastic holder and protective case included. Hand-Made in Sweden. Specifications: TYPE: Prepolarized condenser microphone. PHANTOM POWER: 40-52V. FREQ. RESPONSE: 20 - 20000 Hz (70-15000Hz +-1.2dB on axis!). IMPEDANCE: < 100 Ohm 1KHz. SENSITIVITY: 10mV/PA (SM3L/ST6L 7mV/PA -44dB. S/N RATIO: (DIN/CCIR) 83dB(A)/73dB. NOISE LEVEL: 11dB(A). MAX SPL: 130dB. CURRENT CONSUMPTION: 3.5 mA. CONNECTOR: 3 PIN XLR (pin1 GND, pin 2+, pin3 -).

• 2MP:

  2 channel / standalone Microphone Pre-amplifier.
  

  Based on carefully designed circuitry that ensures uncoloured and detailed audio offering higly transparent audio gain. The design is DC-coupled throughout, except for the matched plastic film input capacitors and is based on a low noise, discrete, class A, matched transistor differential pair input stage, followed by low noise, low distorion O/P-amplifiers. Overall the signal path is short and audibly transparent. The inputs are electronically balanced XLR microphone inputs with 48V phantom power, capable of delivering full phantomcurrent on ALL channels without the voltage "diving" or adding noise and hum. The XLR outputs are electronically balanced (with a slow DC-offset servo). All XLR sockets are goldplated original Neutriks'. To minimize noise and distortion and to ensure good gain-potentiometer performance the first stage has only two fixed gains with the gain-potentiometer is inserted at a later stage. Hand-Made in Sweden.
