Microphones

Every so often an iconic piece of hardware takes the music industry by storm and transforms into a beloved fixture in studios worldwide. The 1073 was one such piece of gear. A mic preamp with a unique voice and rich sound, it became famous for shaping the sounds of many music generations, from the grit of ‘70s rock and roll, to the polished pop of the ‘80s. It was a staple in renowned studios like Abbey Road, Sound City, and Capitol Studios and influenced iconic tracks like Led Zeppelin’s “When the Levee Breaks” as well as The Who’s “Who’s Next.”

Behringer now pays homage to that iconic studio cornerstone with the Behringer 1273, a two-channel microphone preamplifier, with built in EQ. The 1273 is more than just a remake. Developed with one of the original engineers, their valuable knowledge and experience ensures that the 1273 not only remains faithful to the original but is able to meet the demands of modern production.

PROFESSIONAL DYNAMIC VOCAL MICROPHONE

Designed, machined, assembled, and tested by Audix in the USA, the OM11 vocal dynamic microphone was first issued in 1985 as the OM1. This microphone is a dynamic vocal microphone used for a wide variety of stage, studio, and broadcast applications. Its sharp, crisp vocal sound, resistance to feedback, and ability to handle high SPLs without distortion are trademarks of the OM11.

The OM11 dynamic vocal microphone is designed with a tight, uniformly controlled Hypercardioid polar pattern which helps isolate the vocals on stage. The response of the OM11 is tailored to cut through the mix, providing extra presence and articulation to the vocals even at very high stage volumes. In addition to having extremely low handling noise, the OM11 Hypercardioid microphone is well balanced, comfortable to hold, and durable.

• Professional set of 7 drum mics for stage or studio
• ADX51 condensers for overheads add spacial dimension
• Easy to set up and position
• Mics work in tandem to replicate each drum accurately and independently

FireBall™ dynamic instrument microphone

Designed for harmonicas (both diatonic and chromatic) and beatbox. Clear, accurate, and capable of handling SPLs in excess of 140 dB without distortion, the FireBall™ is ideally suited for both live stage and studio recording applications.

The FireBall™ microphone has a smooth, uniform frequency response of 50 Hz – 16 kHz, and a Cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control. It is lightweight, compact, and comfortable to hold. The FireBall™ is manufactured with a precision machined aluminum body, steel mesh grille, and a unique three-stage marbled anodized finish.

Because the FireBall™ Cardioid instrument microphone is a low impedance microphone, when using with a guitar amplifier, a quality, low-high impedance transformer (see T50k) is required.

• High-pass filter switch at 120Hz and 155Hz
• Presence boost switch +1.5db and 3db
• Hyper Cardioid
• Plug & Play brilliant sound with excellent default gain level
• Low noise preamp circuitry
• Frequency response optimized for vocal performance
• Great versatility for drum and instrument recording

ALL-PURPOSE PROFESSIONAL DYNAMIC INSTRUMENT MICROPHONE

Designed with a Cardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control, the i5 all-purpose dynamic instrument microphone is equipped with a VLM™ diaphragm for natural, accurate sound reproduction. The i5 is used for stage, studio, and broadcast applications and is able to handle SPLs in excess of 140 dB without distortion.

The i5 Cardioid microphone can be used to microphone a wide variety of musical instruments, guitars, and bass cabinets as well as vocals and speech. The i5 instrument microphone is sturdy, compact, and easy to position. With a Wide Frequency response of 50 Hz – 16 kHz, the i5 provides clear sound reproduction without having to rely on EQ.

The SCX1 is a professional studio Cardioid condenser microphone designed for a wide variety of recording, broadcast, and live sound applications.

Known for its high sensitivity, pin-point accuracy, low profile, and consistency, the SCX1 is also available with Hypercardioid (model SCX1HC) or Omnidirectional (model SCX1O) capsules.

With a smooth uniform frequency response from 40 Hz – 20 kHz, the SCX1 is very consistent when responding to on and off-axis signals, and exhibits excellent phase coherence and minimal proximity effect. The SCX1 is characterized by a wide Cardioid polar pattern; this, coupled with the High Output and sensitivity of the microphone, makes the SCX1 an ideal choice for miking overhead, drums, instruments, room ambiance, orchestral sections, stringed instruments, piano, vibes, and sound effects. The SCX1HC condenser microphone is a number one choice for miking hi-hat both live and in the studio.

Other features include a 21 mm gold vapor capsule, Miniaturized electronics, and an extremely small footprint. The SCX1 will handle sound pressure levels of 130 dB and will provide up to 20 dB of ambient noise rejection. In addition to acoustic instruments, the SCX1 is an excellent choice for group vocals, speech, or Foley work. The SCX1HC has become a popular choice for interior dialogue boom pole miking. It has a precision machined brass body, interchangeable capsules, Black multi-layer class ‘A’ liquid finish, and a gold-plated XLR connector. The SCX1 studio condenser microphone is manufactured to exacting standards and tight tolerances.

• Tom-tailored frequency response captures speed, power, and tone, minimising the need for EQ
• Bleed-blocking head design and dual bias circuitry provide up to 28dB off-axis rejection for clear tom sounds with minimal cymbal bleed
• Hand-tuned, vibration-resistant Supercardioid capsule ensures powerful balance of transient, body, and tone
• Solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter protect against stick hits, dust, and debris

With rock-solid build quality and a high-power neodymium capsule, the RØDE M1 live dynamic microphone is designed to provide the very best performance, night after night. Its durability is backed-up by a lifetime warranty, following registration of purchase.
