lavalier microphone4, microphone capsule
General Description
The ME 104 modular mini-microphone capsule fulfills professional demands for sound quality and rugged handling, and is suitable for all areas of live work where a small and unobtrusive microphone is needed for vocal and speech applications. Scratch resistant matte finish: anthracite or nickel.
Features
- Excellent speech clarity
- Gently falling frequency response curve at low frequencies ensures good rejection of handling and wind noise
- Minimal inherent self-noise
- Omni-directional or cardioid microphone capsules, can be quickly interchanged
- Optionally available with right-angle plug (copper wire cable, extremely insensitive to handling noise) or with straight plug (steel wire cable, very resistant to tearing)
- Connectors available in straight black, straight beige, right-angle black, right-angle gray

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. |
