It is capable of handling extremely high sound pressure levels before clipping occurs. The 4015C Wide Cardioid Mic even includes a 20 dB pad switch in the center of the XLR connector to prevent overloading of the mic amplifier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4015C Wide Cardioid Mic is also available as a matched stereo pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotally linear off-axis characteristics\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mic is the perfect fill-in between an omnidirectional and a directional microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow profile – wide pickup area\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural reproduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional ambience pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional for vocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModular flexibility\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe off-axis characteristics of this mic are totally linear, a unique quality when it comes to authentic sound reproduction. Any leakage that occurs from off-axis sound sources is still a faithful reproduction of these sounds, just softly attenuated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes a conventional cardioid pattern just isn’t quite open enough. Recording orchestras, and other ensembles, sometimes require a compromise between blending in the room reverberation and a more precise localization. When recording instruments with complex radiation patterns, the wide cardioid (also known as hemispheric) design covers a greater sound angle and is an excellent choice. This is the ideal mic for recording grand piano, guitar, marimba and percussion, or as a spot mic for groups in a symphony orchestra. Likewise, it is an excellent speech, dubbing, or vocal mic as its enhanced richness on the bass end nicely compliments many voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCombine it with the preamp of your choice\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs with all of the modular pencil microphones, you can combine the 4015 Wide Cardioid Mic Capsule with any of our preamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe MMP-A Mic Preamp is an ultra-transparent, transformerless preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. The MMP-C Compact Mic Preamp is an ultra-compact preamp with active drive for impedance balancing. It has a slightly softer character than the other preamps for our pencil mics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOther preamps include the very small form factor types MMP-E Modular Active Cable (XLR output) and MMP-GR\/GS Preamp with Modular Active MicroDot Cable for Pencil Microphone, 3 m (9.8 ft) (MMP-GR, MMP-G Modular Active Cable) (MicroDot output), allowing for very slim set-ups. The MMP-G even allows you to match a larger microphone directly to a wireless transmitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirectional Pattern: Wide cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrinciple of operation: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCartridge type: Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDynamic range: Typ. 121 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreamp: MMP-C - Compact Preamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective frequency range, ±2 dB, at 60 cm (23.6 in): 40 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity, nominal, ±2 dB at 1 kHz: 10 mV\/Pa; -40 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, A-weighted: Typ. 18 dB(A) re. 20 µPa (max. 20 dB(A))\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEquivalent noise level, ITU-R BS.468-4: Typ. 25 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistortion, THD \u0026lt; 1%: 136 dB SPL RMS, 139 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMax.
