  • Page 4 Cactus B7 Capsule Frequency Response Frequency (Hz) This frequency chart of the Cactus B7 capsule is only a start. It gives the recordist a basis of the sound provided. How the microphone reacts in a particular application will differ greatly because of many variables. Room acoustics, distance from sound source (proximity), tuning of the instrument and microphone cabling are only a few of the interacting issues.

For soprano sax, clarinet and related instruments, position the mic about a foot away, directly above and in front of the keys between the middle of the horn and the lowest pads.
  • Page 6 The tube used in the Cactus is a single subminiature pentode in a triode mode. After being burned in for a week, this tube is hand- selected by BLUE personnel for optimum low-noise performance.
