The MB4000C is a wide-range condenser microphone with a
cardioid pickup pattern. It is designed to meet the needs of
professional musicians and sound engineers in live
performance, recording and sound reinforcement applications.
Smooth response, fast attack and quiet operation ensure
high-quality vocal and instrumental pickup.
The microphone features an open-cage design for minimum
disturbance of the studio-grade polar pattern. A special internal
shock mount system minimizes handling and case noise while
a multi-stage internal breath shield effectively reduces wind
noise and "popping" when performers work extremely close.
The MB4000C will accommodate any external phantom power
source supplying from 9V to 48V DC. If, however, remote
powering is not available, a common 1.5V AA battery will
provide sufficient power to the microphone. Current demands
are so low that a premium battery will provide more than a
thousand hours of service.
The cardioid pickup pattern of the MB4000C is useful in
reducing unwanted background noise and controlling feedback,
especially when used extremely close. Miking instruments or
vocalists at very close range also effectively reduces "leakage"
from one performer to the next. Low-frequency noise is
reduced by a low-frequency roll-off of sounds more than one
foot distant from the microphone.
Enclosed in a rugged housing, the MB4000C features a special,
baked-on "Midnight Blues" finish. In addition to being attractive
and comfortable to hold, this special finish further reduces handling
noise and increases durability.
The included microphone clamp permits mounting on any
microphone stand with 5/8"-27 threads. A battery, foam
windscreen and foam-lined carrying case are also provided.
