SHURE Sm87A Condanser Supercardioid Vocal Mic

The SM87A is a rugged, supercardioidcondenser microphoneCondenser microphones are more sensitive, give a smooth, natural sound and need to be powered.Read moreGo to the glossary with superior rejection for clear reproduction of warm and accurate lead vocals in noisy environments

• Highly directional supercardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and very little from the sides, making it more directional than a cardioid mic. pickup pattern
• Controlled low-frequency roll-off
• Very low RF and magnetic hum susceptibility
• Minimally affected by varying load impedanceThis describes how resistant an electrical circuit is to the flow of electricity passing through it.
• Built-in wind and pop filter
• TransducerA transducer converts sound into an electrical signal and is the heart of a mic.Read moreGo to the glossary element shock mounted
• Rugged construction for outstanding reliability
• Field-usable over a wide range of temperature and humidity conditions
• Accepts a wide variety of phantom powerThis must be provided to all condenser microphones in order for them to operate. sources, including DIN 45 596 voltages of 11 and 52 Vdc

• Transducer TypeA transducer converts sound into an electrical signal. The two most common types are dynamic and condenser.Read moreGo to the glossary : CondenserCondenser microphones are more sensitive, give a smooth, natural sound and need to be powered.
• Polar Pattern: SupercardioidPicks up most sound in front of the microphone and very little from the sides, making it more directional than a cardioid mic.
