Excellent AT-822 clone
My very first recording was a of chamber music quartet (piano/violin/viola/cello). Due to unrelated issues, I was arriving just 1 minute before the start of the performance. As performers were being introduced, I plopped the microphone on an empty chair in front (no time to set up a stand) and pressed "Record" on my Boss Micro BR, guessing gain at 0dB. The recording is very detailed, with good spatial placement of instruments and excellent rejection of noise from the rear. (My 4 year old s...

The Nady CM-2S Stereo Condenser Microphone is a superior, versatile microphone that provides the realistic spatial impact of a live sound field for many applications including stereo recording, ENG theater use, and FM stereo radio.
The CM-2S uses a pair of closely-matched, wide range, condenser uni-directional (cardioid) elements, angled at 110° in an X/Y stereo configuration. It features superb channel separation; smooth, linear 30Hz-20kHz frequency response with a switchable low-frequency roll-off; On/Off switch, high SPL capability; extended dynamic range with ultra-low self noise; crisp, clear transparent audio; and internal battery operation. All this contained in a compact, lightweight design for easy camera mounting.
The CM-2S has two unbalanced, in-phase, low impedance stereo outputs. The Left(+) signal is sent to Pin 2 and the Right(+) signal is sent to Pin 3. Both Left and Right use a common Ground(-) connection on Pin 1. Use the 19" stereo cable to connect to 3.5mm stereo inputs or the 10'cable to connect to two channels of your mixing console or recording equipment.
Placing the mic closer to the sound source will create a more pronounced stereo image while moving the mic further away will lessen the stereo image and result in more room noise. Placing a mic too close to a multi-voice source may result is some voices being more dominant than others. Experiment with placement for the best possible results. Use the low-cut filter switch to reduce stage floor noise and undesired low frequencies.
Note DO NOT USE PHANTOM POWER WITH THE CM-2S or you could damage the microphone. Low bias voltages (such as those used for mini-disc, DAT, or analog recorders) will not harm the microphone.
