Miniature Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone – requires phantom power

The Sound Professionals Unidirectional Boundary microphone is our very best microphone for Courtrooms, Depositions, Meetings and Lecture recordings when isolation of individual speakers is required. This high sensitivity microphone offers premium sound quality. This microphone will work devices that provide phantom power on an XLR connector.

The microphone element is unidirectional, so it picks up sound in one direction. This microphone has a high sensitivity mic element for recording sounds ranging from extremely quiet to moderately loud sounds. It has a S/N ratio of 65dB for low noise (hiss) and -38dB ultra-high sensitivity. 

Sound Quality
The microphone has an extended frequency response and very natural and accurate sound, providing smooth midrange and clean highs.
