Impedance
Microphone impedance rating is 150
Ω
(150
Ω
actual) for
connection to microphone inputs rated at 19 to 300 ohms.
Phasing
Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive volt-
age on pin 2 relative to pin 3.
Output Level (at 1,000 Hz)
Open Circuit Voltage*
– 59.0 dB (1.12 mV)
. . . . . . . . . .
*0 dB = 1 volt per Pascal
Electromagnetic Hum Sensitivity
(Typical, Equivalent SPL/milliOersted)
60 Hz: 11 dB
500 Hz: 24 dB
1 kHz: 33 dB
Switches
Bass rolloff and mid-range emphasis: Slotted response
selector switches. See Figure 3 for bass rolloff and
mid-range emphasis (presence boost) response. See
Figure 3 for location of switches.
Response Selector Switch Cover
Cover plate (supplied) can be used to prevent accidental
change of response setting.
Cartridge Shock Mount
