The
MICRO-D is a pre-polarized condenser microphone designed
for many applications including drums, percussion, amplified
cabinets, speech, vocals and acoustic instruments. Used
in conjunction with 3 different types of specialized clips
and 2 different types of interchangeable capsules the MICRO-D
becomes a modular sytem that can fulfill a wide variety
of creative needs.
With a smooth uniform response over a frequency range of
40 Hz –20 kHz, the MICRO-D is lightweight, compact,
and extremely easy to use. Housed in an aluminum ring and
isolated by means of a rubber shock mount system, the stock
version of the Micro-D (model ADX20-d) has a hypercardioid
pick-up pattern and is capable of handling sound pressure
levels up to 140 dB.
The MICRO-D operates on phantom power of 9–52 Volts
and is supplied with a phantom power adapter, integral Dvice
clamp, cable, windscreen, and carrying pouch. Low noise
electronic circuitry and balanced low impedance output allow
for interference free performance even with long cable runs.
