CTM33 Handheld Cardioid Dynamic Mic with Switch

The wide and flat frequency response of the Astatic CTM 33 mic provides natural transparent sound quality. The cardioid pickup pattern minimizes annoying feedback (when used close to sound reinforcement speakers and monitors) and reduces the pickup of unwanted off-axis sounds. An effective internal multistage pop filter minimizes wind and breath noise. The handheld CTM 33 has a Flex-Form hardened steel grille screen that dramatically resists deformation while greatly reducing any risk of adverse performance caused by a bent or dented ball screen. This unique ability to retain its original shape assures that the Astatic CTM33 dynamic mic will maintain its attractive appearance. This microphone uses a high-energy neodymium magnet.

The low-frequency response of the CTM 33 microphone may be enhanced by increasing or decreasing the distance from the sound source. This phenomenon is technically known as proximity effect. Nominal or flat response is generated at a distance of 24 inches or more. However, as the distance to the sound source decreases, the bass sensitivity increases, providing a solid, robust character.
