Pressure gradient receiver with short interference tube

  • Employs RF-technology to control residual microphone noise. Optimising the transducer’s acoustic impedance results in a further improvement in low noise performance.
  • The RF-design yields exceptionally low noise levels and is virtually immune to humidity and moisture.
  • The comparatively low RF-voltage across the elements of the transducer also eliminates arcing and DC-bias creeping currents.
  • Hypercardioid at low and medium frequency, above 2kHz approaches lobar pattern
  • Very low self-noise and high sensitivity
  • Rugged, suitable for adverse climatic conditions
  • Optimum S/N ratio
  • Lowest noise and greatest signal stability
  • Highly immune to humidity in all conditions; extremely stable

Features:

  • Supercardioid Polar Pattern
