SHURE SM-98A – mini condenser microphone

SM-98A - mini condenser microphone

For Saxophone, drums etc

The Stereo wonder. The new NT4, a visually striking microphone that solves
the age-old problem of stereo recording by eliminating the need to purchase
matched pairs and the associated complex set-up bars and adaptors to get
professional results. With a fixed 90 Deg. X/Y configuration and perfectly
matched stereo condenser capsules, the NT4 lets you record any source with
immaculate stereo detail.
The NT4 has a 128 dB dynamic range, 143 dBA SPL and low self-noise. Offering
selectable battery or phantom power operation with power indicator light, the NT4
is ideally suited to both studio and location recording.
The NT4 comes supplied in a custom carry case with a windshield, XLR to mini-jack
and dual XLR cables for portable DAT or professional balanced input connection.

Technical specifications

The Shure Model VP88 is a single-point, stereo condenser microphone for use in professional studio recording, field production, electronic news gathering (ENG), and studio broadcasting applications. It combines two condenser cartridges in a single housing to create a stereo audio image of the sound source. It is unique in its ability to capture the realism of a live event and yet withstand rigorous field production environments.

The VP88 uses a mid-side (M-S) configuration. One microphone cartridge (Mid) faces forward to capture on-axis sound using a cardioid pickup pattern. The other microphone cartridge (Side) is bi-directional, capturing sound from either side. The VP88 contains an internal M-S matrix with three settings for different degrees of stereo image seperation. The internal matrix can be bypassed if an external matrix is used or if stereo imaging is done in post-production. Switches on the top of the microphone control output mode, stereo imaging, low-frequency rolloff settings, and battery on/off.

The VP88 can operate on phantom power or an internal 6V battery. The VP88 is supplied with a multi-connector "Y-splitter" cable, foam windscreen, swivel stand adapter, 6-volt battery, and zippered carrying/storage bag. Optional accessories include an isolation mount, a 7.6 m (25 ft) microphone extension cable, a phantom power supply, and a 4.3 m (14 ft) microphone stand.

• Time-coherent, Mid-Side (M-S) design for optimal stereo imaging
• Built-in stereo matrix for direct control of the stereo spread; direct M-S outputs available
• Mono compatibility ideal for broadcast applications
• 40 to 20,000 Hz frequency response
• Low noise and distortion
