TAKSTAR SM-1C is a multiple
polar pattern (Uni/Bi/Omni), dual large
diaphragm condenser microphone with exceptionally
low self-noise and very high output. The
3-micron-thick vapor-deposited gold diaphragm
provides accurate reproduction of even
the most subtle sounds, especially high
frequency signals not easily reproduced
by conventional large diaphragm condenser
transducers. It may be used with confidence
in a wide variety of miking applications,
even under the stringent demands of modern
digital recording systems.
A switchable 10dB built-in (nominal) pad
and low frequency attenuation can handle
very high sound pressure levels with ease
and reduce the pickup of low-frequency
ambient noise (i.e. on stage shows). It
also allows undistorted reproduction of
high sound pressure level signals at all
frequencies, and this makes it an ideal
choice for percussion and guitar recording.
The integrated three-stage mesh grille
protects the microphone from accidental
damage and reduces plosives and breath
noise. Its standard XLR (F) connector
matches all kinds of audio equipment.
The unit is packed in an aluminum carrying
case with shaped sponge inside. There
are three optional types of sets: SM-L,
SM-M, SM-S, varying in the amount of items
packed.
