Specications are subject to change without notice.
The output of the microphone shall be a 5-pin XLRM-type connector. A
5.0 m (16.5') cable with a 5-pin XLRF-type to two standard 3-pin XLRM-
type connectors shall be included.
The microphone shall be equipped with a switchable 10 dB pad and
a switch that permits choice of at response or 80 Hz low-frequency
roll-off. It shall also include switch selection of non-matrixed M-S mode
and two internally matrixed left-right stereo modes. The M-S mode shall
provide independent Mid and Side signals. The two internally matrixed
modes shall provide traditional “left-right” stereo with the choice of wide
(127°) and narrow (90°) pickup patterns.
The microphone shall be 193.0 mm (7.60") long and have a diameter of
53.4 mm (2.10"). Weight shall be 517 g (18.2 oz). The microphone shall
include a shock mount, a dust cover, and a protective carrying case.
