4.3 Additional AF output (0 dB)

The additional AF output (10) is unbalanced. It serves for controlling other power amplifiers. If these amplifiers have a balanced input, the shield is bridged with one of the signal inputs (pin 1 and 3). The AF output (10) allows the selection between:

1 = Microphone master

2 = Microphone and line master before insert and volume control 3 = Microphone and line master after insert and volume control

The selection is done using the jumpers (refer to chapter “9. Top view printed circuit board”).

4.4 Loudspeaker connection

The loudspeaker is connected to the loudspeaker socket (15). The output voltage of this socket is 100 V at full modulation. Low-impedance loudspeakers with an impedance of 4 to 16 can be connected to the terminals 4 - 16 and COM of the terminal board (16).

Caution:

A simultaneous operation of 100 V and low-impedance loudspeakers will destroy the amplifier!

The MA 212 mixer amplifier is suitable for the connection of loudspeakers with 100 V-matching transformer. If these loudspeakers are connected to a 100 V amplifier output, they receive the full power depending on the matching. All the connected loudspeakers or their power matching result in the total power consumption. The total power consumption must not exceed the rated amplifier power, or the amplifier may be damaged.

4.5 Record Output

The record output (11) is unbalanced (0 dB), for the connection of recorders. The audio signal is the master of the microphone and auxiliary inputs before the equalisation and volume controls.

4.6 Insert

The insert socket (9) is unbalanced. External signal processing devices such as equaliser, shifter etc. can be connected. The master can be chosen before or after the equalisation control (refer to chapter “9. Top view printed circuit board”). If no plug is connected, the signal path is switched through.

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.
