Microphone
Elements and Clips
These Cardioid Stereo
Microphones use electret condenser microphone cartridges.
They have a high
degree of reliability under adverse shock, vibration and environmental
conditions. The capsules specifications are -51 dB +4dbB
of sensitivity and have a 100 to 12,000 hz frequency range.
These are Unidirectional
Cardioid Stereo microphones and will record the sound in the direction
they are pointed at, opposed to our omni directional electret condensor
mics which pick up most of the sound in front , to the sides and a
little behind.
Excellent for recording
subject matter at a longer distance or at a specific location.
Highly
concealable mic. Cardioid clip shown with
vent hole.
The
high fidelity Cardioid microphone capsule is in a handcrafted
brass housing with durable steel alligator clips at the base. The exterior
features a black automotive finish.
Cable
We use the
two of the highest quality cable designs available on our powered mic
units.
* Miniature Balanced
Musical Instrument Cable
* Gepco X-Band Oxygen free
copper audio cable
The cable that connects
the battery box to the mic elements is the Miniature Balanced
Musical Instrument Cable. It is light weight, rugged, flexible, has a long
flex life with high interference and noise immunity.
The cable that runs from the battery box to the recorder is
Gepco
X-Band Oxygen free copper audio cable.
The X-Band is an ultra-flexable, sonically transparent,
low-noise, and durable. Mostly used in critical studio facilities
and at live music venues.
Each oxygen free conductor is insulated with a unique
low k constraint, foam polypropylene dielectric that lowers
the capacitance and extends the bandwidth of the cable. Low
noise and cross-talk is acheived through exacting pair twisting,
95% braid shielding, and individual pair jackets.
Gepco X-Band
Oxygen free copper audio cable
It was
designed for professional stage and studio applications, has greater
abrasion and impact resistance, extra limpness, and at the same time
light weight.
A larger gage of this type and manufacturer of cable is used in the
professional music industry.
9
Volt Battery Box Enclosure
This microphone is long lasting,
solid and tough.
Die Cast Aluminum
Battery Box Unit shields the circuitry from Radio Frequency Interference
The
circuitry is enclosed in a durable die cast aluminum box with black
finish. Measurements are 3.63 X 1.52 X 1.07 inches.
Strong, protective cord grip prevents damage to the Powered
Battery
Box circuit and harmful kinking of cable at entry point
Cables enter the unit through a nickel plated brass cord
grip with a Neoprene Sealing Sleeve and a Perbunan Seal O-ring.
This crucial component prevents any damage to or separation of the
cables from the microphone battery box and circuitry inside as a result
of the cables being jerked or mishandled. It also helps the
cables from becoming kinked.
Gold Plated Stereo Mini Plug
Gold Plated Stereo Mini Plug for a great connection
This mic has a 1/8 inch (3.5 mm)Gold
Plated Stereo Mini Plug with spring bend protection.
A high quality connection and small enough to be unobstructive.
The Best Quality 9 volt battery
connector we could find!!!
This
is not your normal flimsy type of 9 Volt battery connector, rather, it
is a rigid type that will not split or become malformed over multiple
uses like the common variety will do.
Long lasting 9 Volt battery connectors will keep you
connected
Please note: Leaving the 9 volt battery
connected to the rigid connector will eventually cause the battery to
drain. If disconnected from the battery box after every use the 9
Volt will last 400 to 600 hours or until it dies out from age. It
is recommended to insert and remove the battery before and after an
event.
Optional Neutrik
NTP3RC-B right Angle Gold Plated Plug
This is a plug that is
soldered to the cable. Not
an adapter.
These
low profile right
angle plugs work well for recorders with recessed input
jacks. Neutrik NTP3RC-B.
These
are the best right angled gold plated plugs available anywhere, in my
opinon.

page
Optional Locking On / Off switch
Optional locking switch is intended to prevent the unit from accidenly
being turned on or off. Very well made, durable, and expensive to
Giant Squid to obtain.
