C4500 BC
 Announcer microphone for radio studios where ruggedness, excellent
sound, high SPL capability, low proximity effect, and maximum resistance
to electrostatic and electromagnetic interference from CRT displays in
automated studios are paramount.
 Vocal and instrument recording in studios and post production suites.
 Voiceovers and dubbing.
The microphone has its sound entry on the front so you can place it optimally
right in front of the announcer's mouth without obstructing his/her vision.
Although the microphone capsule is shock mounted internally, you can use the
supplied H85 "spider" suspension to reduce vibrational noise from the stand
or other sources even further. Remember to insert the cable into one of the two
grooves at the rear end of the outer ring for strain relief. This removes
mechanical pull from the connector and reduces vibrational noise that may be
transmitted to the microphone by the cable.
You can use the supplied W4000 foam windscreen both as a windscreen for
outdoor recording and as an additional pop screen for vocal recording. The
wind/pop screen causes almost no change in the frequency response of the
microphone. A careful, subjective comparative listening test will be the best
way to decide whether to use the windscreen or not.
