TAKSTAR 
SM-1B is a cardioid polar pattern, single 
large diaphragm condenser microphone with 
exceptionally low self-noise and very high 
output. The 3-micron-thick vapor-deposited 
gold diaphragm provides accurate reproduction 
of even the most subtle sounds, especially 
high frequency signals not easily reproduced 
by conventional large diaphragm condenser 
transducers. It may be used with confidence 
in a wide variety of professional applications 
such as television studios, recording studios, 
broadcasting stations, shows on stage, etc. 
  
A switchable 
10dB built-in (nominal) pad and low frequency 
attenuation can handle very high sound pressure 
levels with ease and reduce the pickup of 
low-frequency ambient noise (i.e. on stage 
shows). It also allows undistorted reproduction 
of high sound pressure level signals at 
all frequencies, which makes it an ideal 
choice for percussion and guitar recording. 
The integrated 
three-stage mesh grille protects the microphone 
from accidental damage and reduces plosives 
and breath noise. Its standard XLR (F) connector 
matches all kinds of audio equipment. The 
unit is packed in an aluminum carrying case 
with shaped sponge inside. There are three 
types of sets: SM-L, SM-M, SM-S, varying 
in the amount of items packed.   |
