Mounting the microphone
Pressure gradient microphone is very sensitive to vibration. Suitable shock mount for high performance microphone is
necessary for extreme low noise recording. Sturdy stand can set the microphone excatly at the sweet spot and keep it
there. Choose heavy duty microphone stand for studio condenser microphone which weights much more than handle
microphone.
Superlux provides wide range of microphone stands for various demands. Big Foot Willie is specially developed for large
condenser microphones that able to support 2 large microphones with stereo bracket for single point stereo recording.
Extension foot on all the 'E' versions serve to mount heavy studio microphone in limit space live sound applications.
Narrower than cardioid pattern. Suitable for multiple microphone setup. Least sensitive angle pointing toward side to rear
where most stage monitors are located. Same proximity effect as cardioid microphone.
Super Cardioid
Extremely light weight diaphragm, very sensitive to
sound. Very small versions available for hiding
applications. High performance condenser microphones
are regarded as standard equipment of recording studios
for extreme detail capturing. Operates with power, such as
phantom or battery.
Durable and simple structure, operates in all kinds of
environments. A good dynamic microphone is capable to
operate at very high sound pressure level without
distortion. Due to structure limit, dynamics cannot be
built as small as condenser, but dynamics
doesn require power to operate.
