OM3 Multi-purpose Vocal and Instrument Microphone. This microphone has clear and accurate sound reproduction, resistance to feedback and ability to handle very high SPLs without distortion. Designed with a slight bass proximity and a tailored mid-range, the OM3 is a hypercardioid microphone.
D4 With a wide frequency response of 40 Hz - 18 kHz and the ability to handle SPLs in excess of 144 dB, the D4 dynamic instrument microphone is an excellent choice for miking instruments requiring precise, low frequency reproduction such as large rack toms, floor toms, cajon, djembe, tympani, leslie bottom, bass flute, saxophone and baritone saxophone, trombone, acoustic bass, bass cabinets and small kick drums. The D4 is lightweight, compact and easy to position. Used for stage, studio and broadcast applications, the D4 dynamic instrument microphone is designed with a hypercardioid pickup pattern for isolation and feedback control. The D4 hypercardioid is also equipped with a VLM™ diaphragm for natural accurate sound reproduction.
