The C 562 CM is a boundary microphone designed to be installed in a sound reflecting sur-
face such that the diaphragm will be flush with the surface and face the sound source. This
prevents comb filter effects or other interference that may arise when a microphone is placed
close to a reflecting surface.
You can install the C 562 CM in a desk top, table top, wall, or ceiling. (In order for the mi-
crophone to function properly, the microphone body should not make contact with any
grounded metal parts.)
The polar pattern of the microphone is approximately hemispherical. When installed in a re-
flective surface, the C 562 CM's sensitivity is 6 dB higher than that of a convention al om-
nidirectional microphone. Using an omnidirectional pressure transducer, the C 562 CM is
much less susceptible to mechanical and wind noise than a cardioid.
The C 562 CM comprises the flush mount microphone (a) with a 20-in. (50-cm) fixed cable
terminated in a TS mini jack plug (b) and a separate phantom power adapter (c) with 20-in.
(50-cm) fixed cable and female TS mini jack plug (d). The phantom power adapter features
a low-impedance, electronically balanced output and can be connected to balanced or un-
balanced inputs.
