FEATURES

The SCM Series microphones offer transformer-coupled balanced outputs and true condenser design (elements constantly biased by the pre-amp) for exceptionally low self noise and increased dynamic range, enhanced low and high end response with improved linearity across the frequency range and maximum SPL capacity.

The SCM Series microphones are available in a choice of 3 configurations: the SCM 900 (cardioid pattern only), The SCM910 (cardioid pattern, with selectable 10 dB attenuation pas and low-cut filter), and the SCM 920 (with selectable low-cut filter and omni or cardioid polar patterns).

Each of the three SCM Series microphones features a large diaphragm capsule (1.0 inch), hand tooled from brass and featuring an ultra-thin (3-micron) gold-evaporated on Mylar diaphragm for maximum sensitivity, transient response, long life, detail and tone. The SCM Series microphones use carefully selected Field Effect Transistors (FET), specially chosen for their low distortion and superior signal-to-noise ratio. (Note: For optimum performance, it is best to let your microphone warm up for 5 to 10 minutes)

Each SCM 900/910/920 is manufactured with the finest materials and features a machined housing with advanced internal shock mount construction for the highest structural integrity and rugged reliability. It requires 48V phantom power to operate, typically supplied by the microphone pre-amplifier or mixing console. The optional Nady SMPS-1 phantom power supply can also be used.
