The MD 429 "Studiosound" is a top-class, dynamic musician's micro-
phone which has been built with the special needs 01recording studios in
mind. Special leatures are its high insensitivityto 'pop'noise, its minimized
proximity effect and its outstanding leedback prevention. A lurther
indication 01this microphone's quality is given by the excellent
insensitivity to handling noise afforded it by its sophisticated internal
suspension system. As a lurther step towards meeting the demands 01
recording studios the MD 429 was litted with a 3-pin Cannon plug-
connector.
Included in the packaging is a quick-release clamp litted with a
reversible thread insert lor mounting onto Iloor stands with %" -, '/2" - and
5/8''x27G-threads.
Mounting and connecting the microphone
The quick-release clamp supplied with the microphone leatures two
'different working-positions. II the microphone is only lightly inserted into
the clamp, it can be quickly and easily removed (Iig. 1a). 11,on the other
hand, the microphone is pushed over the lirst stop right to the back 01the
clamp it is then locked into position. The clamp can now be set at any
angle without lear 01thk microphone lalling out (Iigure 1 b). The micro-
phone is 'unlocked' by lirm pulling.
The thread insert situated in the socket at the lower end 01the quick-
release clamp can be unscrewed with the aid 01a coin. On leaving the
lactory it is readylormounting onto %" threads. Ilthe insert is unscrewed,
turned around and replaced the clamp can now be affixed to '/2"-threads.
II the insert is removed entirely, the socket will lit aIl5/s"x27G threads
(Iigure 2).
The MD 429 is balanced (Iigure 3) and has an electrical impedance 01
200 Q. It can be connected to both balanced and unbalanced inputs as
long as they have an impedance 01aleast 1000 Q. The length 01the
connecting cable may exceed 100 m without problems.
