Intended for use in live performance applications, these are designed for use close to acoustic or amplified instruments.
MB2K
An 'introductory microphone for amplified and acoustic instruments' the MB 2k is a unidirectional, dynamic design offering 'outstanding off-axis rejection and feedback control'. Its frequency response is tailored for optimal instrument pickup. It has a neodymium magnet structure for 'maximum output and fast transient response', a 'MagnaLock' 'silent' on/off switch, all-metal construction and a soft-touch finish. Output: Balanced, 3-pin male XLR connector.Supplied without cable. Impedance: 600 ohms. Response: 60Hz-14kHz, sensitivity: -54dB (1.9mV) re 1V at 1 Pa. Dimensions: 184mm long, 41.4mm head diameter. Weight: 337g.
Included accessories: AT8470 stand clamp for 5/8 inch thread, 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch threaded adapter, soft protective pouch.
This dynamic hypercardioid design is 'tailored for kick drum, percussion, brass, and other highly dynamic instruments'. It delivers a 'warm low-frequency response with excellent presence' and 'excels in high-SPL applications'. Its hypercardioid polar pattern improves isolation of the sound source, delivering off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback. The included isolation clamp offers 'versatile mounting options and effective dampening of mechanical noise'. Output: Balanced, 3-pin male XLR connector. Supplied without cable. Impedance: 600 ohms. Response: 30Hz-12kHz, sensitivity: -54dB (1.9mV) re 1V at 1 Pa. Dimensions: 113mm long, 50mm maximum head diameter. Weight: 230g.
Included accessories: AT8471 isolation clamp for 5/8 inch thread, 5/8 inch to 3/8 inch threaded adapter, soft protective pouch.
