Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifi cations
The microphone shall be the Crown model
MB-4 or equivalent. The microphone shall be a
half-supercardioid electret condenser type. The
microphone shall use the principle of phase co-
herency achieved by mounting a small-diameter
element very near a boundary. This eliminates
comb fi ltering in the audible spectrum.
The microphone will exhibit excellent off-axis
response and gain-before-feedback. The MB-
4 shall have a permanently attached 15-foot
(4.572-m) cable connected to an XLR-type con-
nector with built-in mic electronics. Powering
shall be by 12-48V phantom power.
At the output connector, nominal sensitivity shall
be 22 mV/Pa. Maximum SPL shall be 120 dB
SPL for 3% THD. Equivalent noise shall be 22
dBA nominal. Frequency response shall be 50
Hz to 15 kHz with a uniform off-axis response,
about 20 dB down at the rear nulls.
The Crown model MB-4 is specifi ed.
