Product Description The SM94 is a unidirectional electret condenser microphone tailored to the instrument miking needs of professional musicians and sound engineers in both live performance and sound recording. Its smooth, flat frequency response is free of either a presence peak or a low-frequency rolloff, making it a perfect choice for all types of musical instruments. Amazon.com Ideal for instrument miking needs of professional musicians and sound engineers in both live performance and sound recording, the Shure SM94 is equally at home in sound reinforcement systems or in sound studios and motion picture/ TV scoring stages. Its smooth, flat frequency response is free of either a presence peak or a low-frequency rolloff, making it a perfect choice for all types of musical instruments. The Shure SM94 instrument mic. Frequency response. Polar pattern. The SM94 can be powered by any phantom power source, or by an internal 1.5-volt AA battery. The battery, which serves as a backup power source in the event of phantom power failure, can provide up to 5,000 hours of continuous operation. When used with the optional wind-screen (available separately), the SM94 can be used by vocalists and speech-makers who desire a wide, flat response with minimum coloration. Key Features A sensitive mic with a wide, flat response ideal for live amplified and acoustic instruments.
