The JM27 is a small diaphragm condenser microphone with a fixed Cardioid pattern. Building on the tradition of classic studio microphones, we combined an FET pre-amplifier with transformer-balanced output resulting in a low noise, high SPL mic - perfect for a variety of studio applications. The capsule is manufactured in the classic "concentric electrode" design, providing smooth extended frequency response. We further enhanced the audio quality by using dynamic feedback at the capacitor element. This technique eliminates distortions, which can occur at high SPL. The diaphragm is made from micro-fine Mylar and is gold sputtered. The microphone body is machined from brass, with audio connection via a balanced 3-pin XLR connector. Power is supplied via Phantom Power from either your console or microphone preamplifier. You'll find the JM27 performs especially well when used for acoustic and orchestral instruments as well as in pairs for drum overheads and other stereo applications.

I really like these. They have an interesting sound just like most Meek gear. They obviously don't really compare to many high end mics in overall fidelity, but I really like their "faults". They have a very cool sort of "lo-fi" ish sound, -without all the tape hiss. Definitely useable if your looking for vibe. I didn't at all like the bass response while I was tracking, but after listening to playback, I really liked what was captured. The build on these is a little flimsy, and the access screws are microscopic if they ever do break, but for this price, we're not really looking for perfection are we?
