ARCHITECTS AND ENGINEERS SPECIFICATIONS:
The microphone shall be a back plate pre-polarized condenser with an omni-directional polar
pattern. The microphone shall operate on 18 - 52 Volts phantom power and the nominal output
impedance shall be equal to 200 ohms at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a sensitivity of 6 mV
± 3 dB / Pa at 1 kHz. The microphone shall have a maximum SPL level of 130 dB with a THD of
1%. The microphone shall be machined from brass with dimensions of 19 mm diameter at the
base, 7.7 mm diameter at the top and 150 mm in length. The microphone shall be the Audix TM1.
OPERATION:
The TM1 is a low impedance microphone and should be plugged into a “mic level” input on your
console, mixer or recording device. The TM1 will NOT operate without phantom power voltage
(18 Volts minimum) which is available on most professional mic preamps and mixing devices. If
phantom power is not available on your equipment, you will have to purchase a phantom power
supply (such as the Audix APS2). Avoid plugging or unplugging the microphone into a PA system
unless the channel is muted or the volume of the system is turned down. Failure to do so may
result in a loud “popping” noise which could seriously damage the speakers in the PA system.
USER TIPS:
Measurement: The TM1 is an excellent choice for room analysis programs and real time analyzers.
Just be sure that you are plugging the microphone into a low impedance input and that phantom
power is available.
Ambient room application: The TM1 may be used to capture the “room sound” for in ear monitors.
Typically, you would set up one microphone on each side of the stage in a mic stand facing the
audience.
Recording: The TM1 is extremely at and accurate and has an excellent sound. Because of its small
prole, it can be used in conjunction with portable recording devices for live stereo miking. The TM1
is also excellent for miking acoustic instruments and room ambience.
