MODEL SM94
UNIDIRECTIONAL
PHONE
The Model SM94 is a unidirectional electret condenser
microphone tailored to the instrument miking needs of pro-
fessional musicians and sound engineers in both live per-
formance and sound recording. Its smooth, flat frequency
response is free of either a "presence peak" or a low-fre-
quency rolloff, making it a perfect choice for all types of mu-
sical instruments. The SM94 is equally at home in sound
reinforcement systems or in sound studios and motion pic-
ture/TV scoring stages. When used with the optional wind-
screen, the SM94 can be used by vocalists and speech-
makers who desire a wide, flat response with minimum
coloration.
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.
The SM94 is supplied with a swivel adapter for use on a
microphone stand, boom or gooseneck, and a zippered vi-
nyl storage bag. Model SM94-LC is supplied without a
cable.
Accessories include a foam windscreen (A3WS), two-
channel phantom power supply (PS1A), and 7.6 m (25 ft.)
microphone cable (C25J).
