specification

The microphones M 294 and M 295 extend the studio microphone system SMS 2000. The reliable microphone capsules M 70 and M 94 form a unit with the modified microphone preamplifier MV 200. These microphones are designed for universal applications in professional recording and sound reinforcement and meet the requirements of modern technology. The transformerless circuit design substitutes the previous transformer for a symmetrical output stage. Its intrinsic noise and remarkable output capability emphasize the advantages of the microphone capsules M 70 and M 94. Microphone capsules with an extremely thin metal diaphragm enable brilliant sound transmission.

The desired presence boost of ca. 5 dB in the 8 kHz range gives the M 294 its special clarity. It is possible to activate a 10 dB attenuator pad for handling very high sound pressure levels. A sensitivity reduction for low frequencies can be utilized to suppress the proximity effect. The two switches are sunk into the middle of the preamplifiers.
