Questions & Answers

FAQ

What are the two switchable patterns on the KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone?

The KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone offers a switchable omnidirectional and cardioid pattern. The omnidirectional pattern captures sound from all directions, while the cardioid pattern focuses on sound from the front, attenuating off-axis noise and ambiance.

What does the permanently biased transducer design do?

The permanently biased transducer design in each microphone ensures clean, precise signal reproduction and consistent frequency response. This contributes to the overall audio quality, capturing sound as accurately as possible.

What is the function of the transformerless Class-A output circuitry?

The transformerless Class-A output circuitry provides a noise-free output signal path while maintaining high gain levels. This ensures that the audio captured is clear and true to the original source.

What is the purpose of the three-position low frequency roll-off switch?

The three-position low frequency roll-off switch is designed to eliminate low frequency rumble noise and counteract any proximity effect. This helps to further enhance the audio quality.

Can the KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone handle high sound pressure levels?

Yes, the KSM141/SL Stereo Dual-Pattern Instrument Microphone is capable of handling high sound pressure levels. It also features a three-position pad that provides attenuation at 0, 15, and 25 dB.
