AKG C 418L – Miniature clip-on hypercardioid condenser mic

The C 418 hypercardioid condenser microphone has a specifically tailored frequency response for drum and percussion miking applications. Its two angle adjustment boom-arm with the vibration resistant rubberized clamp make it easy to place on any drum or percussion instrument. The C 418 elastomer shock-mounted capsule adds additional rejection of vibration noise while withstanding even the heaviest drumstick blows.

The new CHM 99 Condenser Hanging Microphone provides both ease of use and a high level of functionality. There is hardly any more affordable and simpler solution for recording choirs at worship centers. Suspended from the ceiling or a beam, the hanging microphone is aligned and then fixed in the correct position. Now use the spring steel clamp to adjust the correct angle, and off you go!
The CHM 99 is available in white or black.

XY stereo recording

Using two CHM 99 hanging microphones in an XY configuration (coincident pair) is a good way to make stereo recordings, particularly of choirs. However, sound source locations are defined only by intensity differences. Adjusting the angle between the microphones determines the width and depth of the stereo image.

ORTF stereo recording

Developed by the French Broadcasting Authority, this technique differs from the XY technique by recording not only intensity differences, but also delay differences. The capsules are aligned at an angle of precisely 110° and 170 mm / 6.7 in. apart.

  Now More Flexible Than Ever. The Microflex Gooseneck Microphones. The Microflex Gooseneck microphones bring a whole new meaning to the word flexible. Beyond their fully adjustable goosenecks lies a new level of flexibility the new Microflex interchangeable condenser microphone cartridge. Designed for easy replacement and available in cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns, the interchangeable cartridges offer wide frequency response and accurate sound reproduction for a broad variety of applications, such as houses of worship, courtrooms and conference centers. Plus, the condenser cartridges fit every model in the new Microflex product line for enhanced convenience and consistent sound.

Microflex Gooseneck microphones are available in four models with a variety of heights and mounting styles to choose from. One model includes a silent mute switch with LED indicator, a Shure Microflex exclusive. And every Microflex Gooseneck features high sensitivity and balanced, transformerless output for maximum immunity to electromagnetic hum and RF interference, even over long cable runs. Each Microflex Gooseneck microphone comes with a complete installation kit, including:

• Shock Mount
• Locking Flange Mount
• This microphone requires phantom power.

 Shure MX412SE/C 12-inch (30 cm) Gooseneck Condenser Microphone, Shock Mount, Flange Mount, 10-foot (3 m) Side-Exit Cable (or Bottom-Exit), Snap-Fit Foam Windscreen, In-Line Preamp, Cardioid.

Shure Microflex MX412SE/C microphones are miniature gooseneck-mounted electret condenser microphones designed for speech and vocal pickup. Their high sensitivity and broad frequency range make them suitable for recording, as well as sound reinforcement applications.

The MX412SE/C microphone can be screwed onto a mic stand or the supplied 5/8 inch 27-threaded flange. They can be easily changed from side-exit to bottom-exit to conceal the cable. All models include an in-line preamplifier and a 3 m (10 ft) cable. Each microphone is available with interchangeable cardioid, supercardioid, or omnidirectional cartridges.
