They feature an accurate and fast response to transient levels and can be used in several applications for recording acoustic instruments such as close-miking pianos, kick drums, cymbals, snares, and more. In addition, as a matched pair the mics are excellent choices for use as stereo room mics or to capture stereo recordings of live performances.

Featuring a tailored frequency response with slightly accentuated mid-highs, the microphones capture sound naturally and can handle high sound-pressure level (SPL) with no distortion. The solid-metal construction provides durability and will withstand use in the most demanding environments.

The pair of SDC-2150-MP Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones are versatile and include mic clips with a 5/8" threaded socket and a 3/8" adapter, which makes them suitable for mounting on a mic stand or a boompole. A hard carry case is also included.

Cardioid Polar Pattern
The cardioid polar pattern is ideal for recording acoustic instruments and is less susceptible to picking up reflections, which makes it suitable for recording speeches or dialog in the studio or on the set
Tailored Frequency Response for Instruments
With slightly accentuated mid-high frequencies, the microphone will capture acoustic instruments with better accuracy and detail
High SPL Levels
The microphone can handle extremely high SPL levels without distortion and can be placed as close to a snare, kick, or cymbal as you want
Sturdy and Durable
Built with solid-metal construction, the mic can withstand use in the most demanding environments
Versatile
Two mic clips with a 5/8" threaded socket and a 3/8" adapter are included for both mic-stand and boompole mounting
Portable
The hard-plastic carrying case protects the mics from shock and impacts as well as moisture and dust

question

What is the pickup pattern for this mic? Do you have to be really close to the subject to pickup good sound or a decent 2ft away?
Asked by: Azariah
We rehearse in a relatively small semi-circle so I found that mounting the mics on a stand in the center of the players, facing upwards worked best. I use the mics with my Tascam DP-008EX. If we had more room or if we recorded a live performance, without doubt, I would mount the mics further from the players. Try from 15 - 20 feet and be confident that we would not lose any recording quality. Very happy with the product.
