AEQ CM 65 - CONDENSER MICROPHONE
3
1. DESCRIPTION.
Cardioid microphone for use in studio, onstage and outdoors. Especially designed for voice, the
CM65 is also perfect for use with a wide range of instruments.
It has excellent dynamic range, capable of taking over 140dB SPL and generates a clear,
transparent and bright response with very low distortion regardless of the noise level collected.
The CM65’s enhancement filters, acoustic and electronic, enable a better picking up of sound,
close or remote range, controlling the pops from close-to voice, the puffs of wind instruments
and vibration and open air background noise.
Even if this microphone is a precision instrument, it is also provided with the necessary
protection for intensive use and not always very careful.
It supports high temperature and humidity, has a very rugged construction, with the transducer
mounted elastically and surrounded by a grid of steel with foam inner lining providing an
efficient pop protection.
The body of the microphone contains the phantom powered electronics. This electronics
supports a great variety of voltages so as to be able to be used in combination with a wide
range of phantom power supplies. It is not limited to the 48V Studio phantom supplies but also
systems providing as low voltage as 10V and often found in gear for outside broadcast. The
balanced connection is via an XLR connector.
The CM65 is delivered with a transport pouch with zipper and a snap-on mount stand adapter
for 3/8” and 5/8" stands, as standard accessories.
2. SENSISITIVY AND FREQUENCY RESPONSE ADJUSTMENT SWITCH.
In order to be able to pick up the audio with fidelity and clarity in a variety of situations, the
CM65 has a switch for the adjustment of sensitivity and frequency response. The switch can be
positioned carefully using any fine pointed object such as a ball pen cap or a tiny flat
screwdriver or trimmer.
Position "0":Gives the maximum sensitivity with flat response, for example for studio use
at distances of 20-50 cm from the mouth of each speaker.
Position "0":Gives the maximum sensitivity with low cut at 100 Hz and attenuation of 12
dB/octave. This position is appropriate for example for outdoor use or locations with noisy air
conditioners, computers, etc. and with a recommended distance of use at 20 to 50 cm from the
mouth of the speaker or the sound source.
Position "-14 ":Decreases the sensitivity with flat response, for example for outdoor or
stage use very close to the mouth of a speaker, singer or wind instrument.
Position "-14 ":Decreases the sensitivity with a slightly attenuated response: 4 dB/octave
low and mid frequencies from 500 Hz with a soft enhancement of the high frequencies and
attenuation of the pop effects generated by vocal proximity. For use in for example, noisy
outdoors or close to mouth applications on stage.
For outdoor use it may be convenient to further support the existing acoustical and electronic
filters by installing a wind screen.
