he variable condenser miniature micro-
phone system consists of several active micro-
phone capsules with different directional
characteristics, an output stage, and numer-
ous accessories.
Currently there are seven ac-
tive capsules available: omni
diffuse-field equalized, omni
free-field equalized, cardioid,
wide-angle cardioid, cardioid
with bass roll-off, hypercar-
dioid, and figure-8.
Through the modular con-
struction of mic capsules and
the output stage it is very
easy to adapt the system to a
wide range of applications.
The mic becomes nearly in-
visible during work with cam-
eras (film, video), on stage, or
suspended from the ceiling in
a concert hall.
An active capsule can also be
screwed directly onto the out-
put stage. The result is a com-
pact miniature microphone.
Construction
The microphones are only 92 or 110 mm resp.
long and 22mm in diameter. They consist of
the condenser capsule and the output stage.
Both parts can be unscrewed from each other.
The system offers several condenser capsules
with different directional char-
acteristics.
Numerous accessories can be
mounted between the cap-
sules and the output stage.
The capsules attach to cables,
capsule extensions, swivel
mounts, table stands, goose-
necks, stereo mounts, and
hangers. Therefore, it is very
easy to adapt the system to a
wide range of applications.
The active capsule itself is
only 35 or 47 mm resp. long.
The KM 100 output stage and
the active microphone capsule may be sepa-
rated by up to 50 m of interconnecting cable.
These cables are 3mm in diameter, and there-
fore very inconspicuous.
