Opis
- omnidirectional pattern
- diffuse-field capsule
- for miking distances at which the predominant sound is no longer direct
- useful for relatively distant placement in reverberant environments – as a room microphone, for “spaced microphone” stereo pickup and in “Decca Tree” arrangements
If this type of microphone is used close to the sound source, the emphasis of high frequencies for on-axis sound incidence would become clearly audible, producing an overly brilliant sonic impression.
Application
Since most recording today is miked more closely than in decades past, capsules such as the MK 2S or MK 2H are a reasonable norm for the majority of spaced-omni and “Decca Tree” applications. But if miking distances more typical of the mono and early stereo era are to be used, a capsule such as the MK 3, with its full diffuse-field equalization, may well offer the optimal balance of focus, depth and spaciousness – and the KA 40 accessory spheres can then add a further measure of presence to the sound at such distances, if desired.
The MK 3 is also often used as an ambient room microphone.
Although our normal production tolerances are very close, we can deliver specially matched capsule pairs for a small extra charge.
