KM-8.2
Instrument Over-The-Head Condenser Microphon
GENERAL-- Flat frequency response is wide and uniform. Consistent sensitivity through frequency range.
-- Cardioid polar pattern picks up the most sound from in front of the microphone and some sound from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in high volume settings.
-- Condenser cartridge has a lightweight, sensitive diaphragm. Precisely and smoothly captures sound nuances.
-- Powered by AA battery or phantom power supply.
-- Internal shock mount for reduced handling noise.
-- Durable metal construction.
-- On/off switch for onstage control.
