TAKSTAR SM-1C is a multiple 
polar pattern (Uni/Bi/Omni), dual 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 miking applications, 
even under the stringent demands of modern 
digital recording systems.
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, and this 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 optional types of sets: SM-L, 
SM-M, SM-S, varying in the amount of items 
packed.
