performance microphone is necessary for extreme low noise recording. Sturdy stand can set the
microphone excatly at the sweet spot and keep it there. Choose heavy duty microphone stand for
studio condenser microphone which weights much more than handle microphone.

developed for large condenser microphones that able to support 2 large microphones with stereo
bracket for single point stereo recording.

Picks up most signal on axis. Rejects side and
picks up least to the back. Suitable for live
sound re-inforcement. Apparent proximity effect
and most singer likes to take this bass boost
advantages which is not good for speech.
Cardioid
Narrower than cardioid pattern. Suitable for
multiple microphone setup. Least sensitive

About Frequency Response
Suitable for working at controlled environment,
or for acoustic measurements. Although people
persuit flatness, but for none-professionals, it is
a challenge to makes it works as expectation.
Flat
Based on years of practical experience of pro
users. There are curves to be build for various
applications, so that it is very simple to use the
microphone for the purpose. Limiting
bandwidth, and emphasing are typical skill.
Popular curve response
Incorporating switchable filters to elliminates
interference, such as sub-sonic filter to cut air-
conditioner and floor vibrations. And allows full
flat when used in controlled environment.
Variable response
Extremely light weight diaphragm, very
sensitive to sound. Very small versions
available for hiding applications. High
performance condenser microphones are
regarded as standard equipment of recording
studios for extreme detail capturing. Operates
with power, such as phantom or battery. Durable and simple structure, operates in all
kinds of environments. A good dynamic
microphone is capable to operate at very high
sound pressure level without distortion. Due to
structure limit, dynamics cannot be built as
small as condenser, but dynamics
doesn require power to operate.
