The family of metal membrane microphone M 294 / M 295 is added by the condenser microphone M 296. Based on the practically linear frequency response of the transmission factor up to 20 kHz it guarantees orthophonic recordings in the short-range and far field as well as sound events with high levels.
lt is designed for professional applications in radio and television broadcasting, tone studios, concert halls, theatres and for high quality recordings of all genres. The direction of maximum sensitivity is axial, i.e. endwise to the microphone. The stable capsule contains a large diameter metal membrane and is similar to our proven measuring microphone capsules regarding its construction as a pressure transducer. Capsule and impedance transformer are a unit.
The transformerless microphone preamplifier shows a high output capability and has a symmetrical output stage. A 10 dB preattenuation and the bass roll-off extend the application range. The two switches are sunk placed in the middle of the microphone.
The microphone is powered by a 3-pin XLR connector. The power supply is provided by P 48 volt phantom powering according to DIN 45596 and IEC 268-15.
To solve tasks in the field of measurements the microphone is offered as version M 296 S with a frequency response of the transmission factor corresponding to class 2 for sound level meters according to DIN EN 60 651.
The microphone is available in black matte and satin nickel finish.
