C 562 BL


  • Thin case
  • Extended bass and high end
  • Frequency independent omnidirectional polar pattern
  • High sensitivity
  • High SPL capability

    • The C 562 BL is an excellent tool for getting uncolored recordings of acoustic instruments or a choir. Here are some examples: 1) Choir/brass section: Mount two C 562 BLs on a reflecting surface, about 3 to 5 feet (1 to 1.5 m) apart (A-B stereo technique). Place the choir or brass section about 7 to 10 feet (2 to 3 m) in front of the mics. 2) Acoustic guitar: Mount a single C 562 BL on a reflecting surface at the same height as the guitarist's seat. Place the mic about 1 to 1 1/2 feet (30 to 40 cm) from the guitar. Many engineers use this as a spot/ambience microphone in a main microphone setup. This technique works best in rooms with good acoustics.

    The microphone shall be a condenser boundary type with a frequency independent, semi-omnidirectional polar pattern. Its application range shall include stage and table miking, round table discussion recording, and piano miking. Frequency range: 20-20,000 Hz; sensitivity at 1 kHz: 20 mV/Pa; maximum SPL: 130 dB SPL for 1 % T.H.D.; electrical impedance: 600 ohms. Three rubber feet designed specifically to support the overall weight of the microphone shall provide excellent footfall noise rejection and contain holes for mounting the microphone on a wall. The microphone shall be capable of operating on phantom power at any voltage between 9 and 52 V conforming to DIN 45596. The case shall be no larger than 160 mm in diameter and 9 mm high. Net/shipping weight: 950 g/1.9 kg (2.1/4.2 lbs.)
