The M1255B is a miniaturized condenser microphone with a fully integrated preamp and detachable cable. This mic is designed with a very high sensitivity for distance miking. Applications include ceiling or table mount for conferences, overhead choir miking, location recording as well as audience or room miking. The M1255B has immunity from RF interference caused by cell phones and GSM devices.In situations where the volume is loud on stage or there are many open microphones, this pattern is helpful in further isolating the instrument or vocal from the rest of the instruments on stage. The microphone can be worked at ½ the distance of cardioid if necessary.
