Nady SCM-1000 Wired Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphone

The Nady SCM Studio Microphones with many models to choose from, offer the superb sound of classic high-end, large-diaphragm studio & broadcast microphones at unparalleled affordability.

• The SCM Series microphones offer transformer-coupled balanced outputs & true condenser design (elements constantly biased by the pre-amp) for exceptionally low self noise & increased dynamic range, enhanced low and high end response with improved linearity across the frequency range and maximum SPL capacity.
• The SCM Series microphone SCM 1000 FET Condenser Microphone.
• This superior microphone is perfect for recording studio vocals, acoustic instruments, orchestras and choral groups, ambient instrument audio, & many live sound applications. Powerful & versatile, the SCM 1000 meets the stringent requirements of even the most demanding digital recording & live broadcasting applications.

The SCM1000 offers transformerless output & true condenser design (element constantly biased by the pre-amp) for exceptionally low self noise & increased dynamic range, enhanced low & high end response with improved linearity across the frequency range & maximum SPL capacity. It features a large dual diaphragm capsule (1.1") & selectable low cut filter, 10dB attenuation pad & 3 polar patterns: omni, cardioid & figure 8. The capsule is hand tooled from brass & features a 3-micron gold-evaporated on Mylar diaphragm for maximum sensitivity, long life, detail & tone. The capsule also utilizes a specially designed gold-plated center-terminated element, which creates a gentle extensionof the top octaves & enhanced-accuracy transient response. The SCM 1000 uses a carefully selected Field Effect Transistor (FET), specially chosen for its low distortion & superior signal-to-noise ratio. Note: For optimum performance, it is best to let the microphone warm up for 5 to10 minutes)

The SCM 1000 is manufactured with the finest materials & features a machined housing with advanced internal shock mount construction for the highest structural integrity & rugged reliability. It requires 48V phantom power to operate, typically supplied by the microphone pre-amplifier or mixing console. The optional Nady SMPS-1 phantom power supply can also be used.

The SSM-3 spider shock mount is available as an option for the SCM 1000. It uses an elastic suspension to isolate the Microphone from vibration, thereby lowering noise transmitted to the microphone from the stand.

The FW-1 foam windscreen is available as an option for the SCM 1000. This windscreen fits over the grill portion of microphone &d is designed primarily to decrease bass rumble (from wind noise pickup) during outdoor live or recording use.

It is also useful in keeping mouth spray out of the microphone head. The FW-1 or other windscreen should be used whenever someone is close miked to both protect the microphone & to also eliminate "popping" sounds from percussive breath sounds.
