Published on 10/02/13 at 08:17It is a cardioid microphone type, with a sensitivity of -47 dB, noise 80 dB and a bandwidth of 100 to 15,000 Hz signal ratio is low impedance (10,000 ohms).
OVERALL OPINION
Recently acquired, I installed an acoustic mandolin replacement of LR Baggs, which transmits with too much zeal resonances fingers on the fretboard ... I've seen spent a lot of microphones: the piezo with all faults we know them, the DPA certainly good but terribly expensive and, I must admit that I am amazed. The reproduced sound is completely neutral with remarkable fidelity and power output remains within normal limits. Contrary to my fears, the feedback is difficult to lead, which is a sign of quality for this type of microphone. The flaw can be seen on the packaging: the battery is removed from the rosette but as it is fixed with two cable ties, it is childish to cut and there is enough wire to place it in a more accessible area especially as the body of a mandolin. is not that of a guitar! In the latter case, a small hack with a soldering iron will be needed to move the battery to the desired location. To further reduce the risk of feedback on stage, I recommend placing a carved rosette on the soundhole to reduce the impact of external sound frequencies that could disrupt the capsule.
