| Pearl Microphones DS60 Details
This microphone offers stereo recording in different modes. The microphone contains two rectangular dual membrane capsules. It is the Pearl classical, designed in the -60´s: The capsules are mounted one above the other 90 degreeds apart. These capsules capture the nuances of a live performance by achieving a very flat and resonance-free frequency response that extends deep into the lower frequencies and high into the upper frequencies 18-25000 Hz). Instead of being divided into two parts the capsules are fixed at 90 degreeds to each other. The microphone consists of a solid-brass body, finished in black chromium and gold plated mesh. During an X-Y recording, simply turn the microphone and direct the engraved X-Y sign towards the centre of the sound field. For M-S recording, there is an engraved M-S sign to be used in the same way. The required microphone pattern is chosen at the console. This is the reason there are no switches on the microphone.There is also no need for a control unit as the microphone is phantom powered. A red LED shows that power is on.The pre-amplifier, which is extremely quiet, has four output channels, one for each cardioid membrane, connected via a 9 pin Lemo plug. Each capsule provides 180 degreeds coincident stereo. The operator decides how to use the signals, either cardioid, figure of eight, omni-directional, X-Y or M-S patterns or Blumlein. The microphone is connected by a special cable consisting of a 9 pin Lemo at the microphone end and a four way splitter terminating in 3-pin XLR´s to the console. The DS 60 is very versatile in many different recording situations. It is a natural choice for the consert hall yet just as well suited for church organs. Success is guaranteed when recording small groups such as a string quartet. The microphone is finished in black chromium and gold plated net.
