Today, there are a huge number of vocal stage microphones, both budget dynamic models and more expensive condenser ones.

If on stage it is necessary to achieve the most natural sound when enhancing acting, it is necessary to use a system of suspended microphones. Thus, we will sound the entire space of the scene, enhancing the overall picture of the sound on the stage. In this case, in the hall we will hear both the direct sound coming from the actors on the stage and the amplified sound of the scene. With the right balance of direct and amplified signals, you can achieve a very natural sound.

For these purposes, suspended cardioid condenser microphones are used, in which the capsule and preamplifier are located at a distance of five or more meters from each other. So that the microphone is less visible from the hall. Such microphones are mounted on grate or booms high above the stage and descend from above. Don't know which microphone to choose?

Choral microphones - what is it?

Suspended theater and choral microphones are highly sensitive cardioid condenser devices. Such models are used not only in theaters, at concert venues. In addition, they are often installed in churches, courtrooms, as well as in rooms where various conferences are held.

Theater suspended microphones are characterized by the following parameters:

• convenient mounting method: microphones have a flexible wire holder that allows you to install the microphone at different heights;
• compact sizes: theater and choral microphones are used in stage productions, devices do not attract the attention of those present;
• most models have reliable wind protection;
• devices have an integrated preamplifier.

In addition, the microphones for theaters are distinguished by sensitivity, a high level of resistance, as well as the frequency range. The latter characteristic depends on what frequencies are fed to the microphone.

Theater microphones are equipped with a feedback lock system. It prevents the formation of an unpleasant, sharp noise that appears due to sound entering the microphone in the speakers. Regardless of the selected model, all devices are designed specifically to improve sound quality, simplify the operation of systems. Such devices use super-cardioid, cardioid and omnidirectional capsules, which can be replaced. These items are included with the rest of the accessories.

Distinctive features

Among the distinguishing features of theater microphones are:

• acoustic transducer eliminates any distortion;
• effective suppression of sounds outside the directional axis;
• choral microphones have a switchable attenuator;
• the microphone housing is durable, light;
• the low cut filter is turned off if necessary.

Today you can find microphones for musical ensembles, performances, and sounding of choirs. All models are distinguished by high-quality sound transmission, compact size, ease of installation, reliability. Choral microphones have phantom power, making the process of operation of the system greatly simplified.
