SOUND PALETTE® Series

The Mackie Industrial MT-3100 is an omnidirection- al boundary condenser microphone designed for the ambient mic application on the SP1200 and SP2400 Program Controller/Amplifiers.

When connected to the Ambient Mic connector on the SP1200 or SP2400, the microphone monitors the ambient noise in the room or zone, and the gain of the Paging Mic is automatically adjusted to compensate for room noise. This allows public address pages to be a little louder than the noise in the room so they can always be heard.

When the SP-DSP1 card is installed in the SP1200 or SP2400, the signal from the ambient mic is also used to enable an automated controllable balance between changing ambient noise levels and the program level.

The boundary microphone is specially designed to be placed on a flat surface, where the direct sound and the reflected sound, off of that surface, are added together in-phase at the microphone's capsule.

The plastic microphone enclosure has a steel pro- tective mesh, and is equipped with an indicator for power on as well as a connection cable with a 3-pin male XLR connector.

A special elastic suspension isolates the micro- phone's capsule, and an electronic filter eliminates subsonic frequencies, allowing the MT-3100 to reject vibrations transmitted by the support surface.

Operates on a phantom power supply ranging from

12 VDC to 48 VDC.
