The MG12, MG15, and MG18 are professional miniature gooseneck condenser microphones designed for applications such as podium, presentation, meetings and teleconferencing. Known for their clarity, excellent sound quality and ease of operation, the MG12/15/18 have the ability to accurately capture and reproduce vocals from a comfortable distance. The MG12/15/18 are characterized with a uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern, helping to isolate the speaker from other ambient noise in the room or on the stage. The MG12/15/18 gooseneck mics are also available in a hypercardioid polar pattern for tighter pattern control (see models below). With a wide frequency range of 60 Hz - 19 kHz, the MG12/15/18 provide natural sound with exceptional transient response. The MG12/15/18 gooseneck system is equipped with a sophisticated dual preamp circuitry – one circuit located in the capsule housing and the other circuit built into the base of the XLR. This circuitry is internally balanced, insuring that the audio path will be isolated from hum and noise. In addition, the circuitry employs protection from RF and spurious emissions from cell phones and wireless GSM devices. The goosenecks may be mounted with the supplied flange mount (TM1218) or with an optional base with an internal shockmount (SMT1218R). The mics may also be used on a standard mic stand or in conjunction with the Audix ATS10 table stand with lighted on-off switch, ATS1 table stand with programmable switch and ATS1L with remote logic capability. Manufactured to very high standards and tight tolerances, the MG12/15/18 features a machined brass body, field replaceable capsule, replaceable electronics, and a variety of optional accessories. The MG12/15/18 operate on phantom power of 18 - 52 Volts and are available in non-reflective black matte finish.
