Model #500204 |
MSRP: $298.00 |
| Wireless version of the e 908 B, without phantom power adaptor, for use with any evolution wireless bodypack/instrument transmitter. The e 908 B ew has been designed for saxophones. For miking trumpets, trombones and flugelhorns, we would recommend using the e 908 T ew, which has a lower sensitivity. |
| e 908-D |

Model #500205 |
MSRP: $420.00 |
| The e 908 D condenser instrument microphone was specially designed for drums and percussion. Comes with multifunctional MZH 908 D drum clamp. |
| e 908-T-ew |

Model #500632 |
MSRP: $298.00 |
| Wireless version of the e 908, developed for trumpets, trombones and flugelhorns. The e 908 T ew can be used with any evolution wireless bodypack/instrument transmitter. For turning the e 908 T ew into a wired mic, please use the MZA 900 P phantom power adaptor (needs to be ordered separately). |
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). |
| Frequency response |
| The frequency response of a microphone is given within the limits defined by the manufacturer. In studio condenser microphones it is generally within the range of between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. |
| 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. |
| Phantom powering |
| Almost all studio microphones are supplied with 48V ±4V phantom power (P48, IEC 268-15). This supply voltage is applied to both modulation lines, while the return current flows via the cable screen. Some microphones can also be powered by batteries or from plug-in mains adapters. |
| 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. |
