This Prosumer-model microphone is for advanced amateur and professional use, and is ideal for instrumental recording, thanks to Sony's sensitive Electret condenser microphone. The one-point stereo design--a single mic for stereo recording--is like having two microphones in one. This mic is ideal for portable DAT or MD digital recorders, with frequency response up to 18,000 Hz and a dynamic range of 90 dB, and is a great complement to digital recording systems. The mid/side capsules create a natural stereo panorama. The midcapsule picks up monophonic sound while the side capsule picks up left/right-difference sound. Subtracting and adding the two capsule signals yields separate left and right channels, and permits electronic adjustment of the pickup angle. The mid/side switch also selects the pickup angle between the left and right channels. Choose 90 degrees for a single voice or instrument or 120 degrees to pick up many voices and instruments arranged across the stage. The rotating midcapsule adjusts the stereo pickup pattern for the widest range of recording situations. A Cannon XLR connector from the microphone body to the supplied cable provides a secure, reliable, low-noise connection, while the oxygen-free copper Litz cord ensures superlative conductivity, minimum loss, and minimum noise. The L-shaped stereo miniplug fits most portable recorders. Supplied accessories include a detachable cable, stand, holder, windscreen, and carrying case. ... Read more

A great mike, but hypersensitive
I bought this mike for use with my minidisc recorders, mainly to record choral concerts at church and in other places.It has a nice stereo directionality and separation choices, but I advise you to watch your record levels or mike sensitivity setting because the sound levels tended to overloadon loud passages or with percussive music like piano when used with my recorder's default (high) mike sensitivity setting.
It's very solid and well made. I'd rather have a boxed carrying case instead of the soft pouch provided, but that's a quibble. ... Read more

Product Description

An inexpensive version of the PZM-30 and PZM6 with XLR output, can be phantom or battery powered.The Crown® PZM®-185 Pressure Zone Microphone® is a microphone designed for general-purpose use. Ideal for applications such as conferences, group discussions, interviews, broadcast, home video production, lectures, and recordings. The mic can be placed on a large surface such as a table, floor, wall, or lectern. The PZM-185 is powered either by an internal AAA 1.5V battery or 12-48V phantom power. The boundary "paddle" can be detached so the mic will fit in your pocket. Attached to the mic is an 8-foot (2.438-m) cable leading to a tubular power module. The microphone’s low-profile design reduces "mic fright" and minimizes clutter. It is nearly invisible on camera. The PZM-185 minimizes pickup of vibration and handling noise. Its electret condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 16 kHz. The mic’s hemispherical polar pattern allows clear pickup of everyone surrounding the microphone. The PZM-185 is protected against static and RFI. The output is balanced, low impedance, which allows long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss.Like other Pressure Zone Microphones, the PZM- 185 uses a miniature mic capsule mounted very near a sound-reflecting plate or boundary in the Pressure Zone. In this zone, direct sound from the sound source combines in phase at all frequencies with reflected sound off the boundary. ... Read more

Broadcasting Mic
I am a Dj and the SM7B is a pretty good mic it is clear and has an occasional pop. I think that for on air use it is a good affordable buy. I would recommend it very highly.

BEST VOICE MICROPHONE THERE IS!
If you are looking for a microphone for voice-overs or broadcast use, THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO BUY.

The Shure SM-5 and SM-7 microphones are the best voice mics ever made. The large SM-5 is no longer made, so you can only find it used, but the SM-7 is just as good.Either one, you have the best.

Don't let the price fool you. I have brought this in to studios that have $3000 Neuman condenser mics and they laughed when I said I wanted to use my $300 Shure mic instead.I told them to put up both mics and do an A/B test while I spoke into each of them. They had to agree, the Shure was better and it was a night and day difference, not hard at all to decide it was best.

Even industry publications like MIX MAGAZINE and RadioWorld have done reviews where they did the same tests and said the same things about this mic in comparison to the expensive condenser mics.

This mic has a warmth and rich sound no other mic can give you.

Portable and wonderful
Having had bad experiences with other mics, I finally ponied up the money for the AT822--and am I ever glad I did. As a trombonist, I've found that recording my instrument in the varied environments I play in--my home, outdoors, concert hall, dance hall--is a difficult proposition. I'm interested in the way I sound to listeners, but most mics are meant to mic an instrument into a PA system, not record the ambience of a room. Outside of expensive concert-hall mics in complex arrangements requiring multiple mics and power, there just aren't too many options for the individual wanting good sound and not-a-lot-of equipment. The AT822 solves this problem for me, and solves it well.

Using an MD Recorder, mic stand, and the AT822, I'm able to mic all my venues and I'm rewarded with excellent recordings--recordings that satisfy everyone who receives a CD. Recording our swing band, the extreme volume that can result of a large ensemble and small room make the roll-off feature a bonus; the recordings come out undistorted even when the record levels go a little higher than I anticipated, and the roll-off isn't as discernable on the final product as with some mics. In the concert hall, I have placed the AT822 in the balcony with no roll-off and have found the recording to be spotless--no hum or weirdness from the electronics, and a final product with genuine spatial feel. I've recorded a trombone choir in a semicircular arrangement (around the center of a church) and been happy with the sound of the instruments beside and slightly behind the mic as well as those within the mics front field-of-view. Even recording my home practices, I'm rewarded with a recording that accurately reflects my sound. Indeed, the AT822 is a microphone for all venues.

The AT822 is sensitive enough to record the drop of a violin bow across an E-string at 100 feet away, but rugged enough to handle 5-feet from a trombonist at fortissimo levels. I'm extremely pleased wtih the AT822. It offers a portable, self-powered solution for the amateur musician at a reasonable price. I wholeheartedly endorse this product, and recommend that others with similar needs for a microphone consider its purchase.

An excellent concert recording microphone
I use this, along with a home-built preamp and a Sony MiniDisc deck, to tape live concerts of my band and others.It does a very good job.The microphone has low self noise, a good stereo image, and excellent frequency response.Since it's single point stereo, it's easy to set up. ... Read more
