4.1 Microphone inputs

On the rear there are three XLR-connections (14). The microphone connection is balanced (pin 2+3 AF, pin 1 shield). For each input the input gain (1 - 100 mV) can be adjusted on the rear. The input volume is adjusted on the front using the volume control (1). The microphone inputs 1 and 2 can be switched to priority (refer to chapter “4.1.1 Priority switching”).

Caution:

All balanced microphone inputs have an adjustable phantom power from 0 to +24 V. If you connect devices with unbalanced outputs switch off the phantom power or add a coupling capacitor. If condenser microphones and devices with unbalanced outputs are used simultaneously we recommend to switch off the phantom power according to the used input.

4.1.1 Priority switching

The priority of the privileged microphone inputs is voice-controlled (ducking function). The unit is delivered with this function being deactivated.

If the ducking function is desired, the bridge resistors on the printed circuit board have to be soldered (refer to chapter “9. Top view of the printed circuit board”). The programme fades out when someone is speaking into the microphone connected to one of the privileged microphone inputs. The ducking function is also activated, when the input control is turned down (if a microphone is connected, the switch of the microphone must be switched to the “Off” position). Possible microphones are a handheld mic or a desktop microphone unit.

Microphone 1 has priority over microphone 2. Both microphones fade out microphone 3 and the auxiliary input. The fade-out can be adjusted from 0 to -40 dB on the printed circuit board (refer to chapter “9. Top view of the printed circuit board”).

4.2 Auxiliary inputs

On the rear of the mixer amplifier there are two adjustable separate RCA (phono) connections for input and one RCA (phono) connection for the record output. The connections are unbalanced and suitable for stereo carriers (L + R are internally switched together via an impedance matrix). The master signal from all inputs is available at the record output; independent of the equalisation (bass and treble) (3) and the master volume control (4).

MA 206, MA 212 specifications

Beyerdynamic, a prominent name in the world of audio technology, has expanded its offerings with the MA 206 and MA 212 microphones, both of which are engineered to cater to a wide range of professional audio applications. These microphones stand out due to their precision, versatility, and advanced technology, making them ideal choices for studios, broadcasting, and live performances.

The MA 206 is designed for high-quality sound capture with its dynamic microphone design. Its cardioid polar pattern provides excellent feedback rejection, ensuring that ambient noise is minimized. This feature is particularly beneficial in live settings where multiple sound sources may compete for attention. The MA 206 also boasts a rugged construction, making it durable enough for extensive use in various environments. Its frequency response is tailored to capture the nuances of vocals, making it a preferred choice for singers and presenters alike.

On the other hand, the Beyerdynamic MA 212 takes audio capture a step further with its unique condenser technology. This microphone is equipped with a wide frequency response that allows it to capture a broad range of sound frequencies, from deep bass to high treble. The MA 212's supercardioid polar pattern ensures that it has a narrower pick-up area, which helps in isolating the sound source and reducing unwanted background noise. This makes it an excellent option for studio recordings where clarity and precision are paramount.

Both models incorporate Beyerdynamic’s proprietary technologies, such as advanced diaphragm design and high-quality internal components, ensuring exceptional sound fidelity. Additionally, the microphones are engineered to handle high sound pressure levels, making them suitable for loud sound sources without distortion.

Their ergonomic designs facilitate ease of use, with convenient mounting options and compatibility with various audio interfaces. Whether for recording, broadcasting, or live performance, the MA 206 and MA 212 deliver reliable performance and impeccable sound quality.

In conclusion, Beyerdynamic's MA 206 and MA 212 microphones exemplify the brand's commitment to excellence in audio technology. With their tailored features and robust construction, both microphones are set to meet the demands of audio professionals, ensuring that every sound is captured with clarity and precision. Whether in the studio or on stage, these microphones stand as symbols of Beyerdynamic’s legacy of innovation and quality in sound reproduction.
