ME 62
Article No. 003281
omnidirectional microphone
General Description
The ME 62 is an omni-directional microphone capsule suitable for K6 and K6P powering modules. It can be used for reporting, discussions and interviews. The ME 62 is particularly suitable for good reproduction of "room" ambience and "spaced omni" stereo recording. Matte black, anodized, scratch-resistant finish.
Features
- Omni-directional pick-up pattern
- Minimal inherent self-noise
- Excellent rejection of rumble, wind and handling noise
- Wide frequency response
- High maximum sound pressure
- Integral pop filter
Delivery Includes

Glossary
| Equivalent noise level |
| The output signal of every microphone always includes a low noise signal in addition to the useful signal. In order to illustrate the extent of the noise voltage, it is given as a fictitious sound pressure level. In an ideally noise-free microphone, a sound pressure level of this magnitude would result in an output voltage of the magnitude of the noise. Self-noise is measured and weighted either in accordance with CCIR 468-3 or – in order to assimilate the measured result with the listening impression of the human ear – in accordance with DIN/IEC 651 (so-called A-weighted). Studio condenser microphones generally have an equivalent noise level of between 20 and 30 dB (CCIR) or between 10 and 20 dB(A). |

| Min. terminating impedance |
| Impedance at which the connected unit meets the specified technical data. If the unit is connected to a lower impedance, it will usually have a lower output voltage or a greater distortion. |
| Nominal impedance |
| See impedance. |
| Pick-up pattern |
| Also known as polar pattern, directivity. According to their acoustic design, microphones differ in their sensitivity towards sound from different directions. Pressure microphones have a sensitivity that is largely independent of direction (omni-directional pick-up pattern). Pressure gradient microphones have the pick-up patterns wide cardioid, cardioid, super-cardioid or figure-of-eight. Interference microphones can be used to achieve a further concentration of the pick-up pattern (lobar pick-up pattern). As a special case, dummy head microphones achieve the pick-up pattern of the human ear/head (dummy head stereo). |
| Sensitivity in free field, no load (1kHz) |
| Voltage measured at the unloaded output of a microphone which is exposed to a sound pressure of 1 Pa and a frequency of 1 kHz in an anechoic chamber. |
