POLAR PATTERNS
ARCHITECT AND ENGINEER SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be of the condenser type with a modular threaded
capsule. The microphone shall be available in a cardioid polar pattern and shall
have a 6’ cable terminating in a mini-XLR female connector. The microphone
shall be provided with a remote cylindrical phantom power adapter that will
allow the microphone to operate between 9 Volts and 52 Volts phantom power.
The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 6 mV / Pa and a nominal impedance
of 250 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of ≥140
dB at 0.5% THD and shall be machined out of brass with a length of 30 mm and
a capsule diameter of 12 mm.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
The MicroHP is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into a
“mic level” input on your console, mixer or recording device. The MicroHP
requires phantom power and will NOT operate without phantom power voltage
(minimum of 9 - 52 Volts) which is available on most professional mic preamps
and mixing devices. If phantom power is not available on your equipment, you
may use the Audix APS911 which is an optional accessory that allows for battery
operation. Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone from a PA system
unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system turned down. Failure
to do so may result in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the
speakers in the PA system.
APS910 phantom power adapter: Note that the mini XLRf connector
at the end of the MicroHP mic cable plugs into mini XLRm side of the
APS910 power adapter. From there, plug a standard XLR-XLR microphone
cable to complete the connection from the APS910 to the mixing board.
The MicroHP is manufactured to exacting specs with roadworthy construction.
However, the capsule is highly sensitive and should be handled with care. Avoid
extreme temperatures and be sure to store your microphone in the pouch
provided when not in use. Moisture of any kind can adversely affect the sound
and performance of your microphone.
USER TIPS
Percussion & Drums: Simply attach the threaded mount to the lug of the
percussion instrument. Adjust the height of the gooseneck by means of the
lower thumbscrew. The mic can be positioned 2-3 inches above the head of the
instrument and aimed towards the center of the head.
