Description:

The SP-SPSM-18 is a high quality stereo Cardioid (uni-directional) microphone that can be plugged directly into the mic input jack of most portable recorders. The microphone is very rugged and has a die-cast metal body. The output connector is a stereo XLR male gold plated connector. Included with the microphone is an XLR to right angle mini 1/8" (3.5mm) gold plated plug, available in two different lengths (choose length in option dropdown box above). A microphone stand adapter is included. The microphone stand shown (SP-DTS-22) is available as an option.

This microphone can be plugged into any recorder (DAT, MiniDisc or analog) that supplies a bias voltage of between 1.5 and 10 Volts DC at the microphone input jack, commonly known as "plug in power". Many of the recorders on the market today include this feature. If your recorder does not have this power, you must have a battery module (as noted above) to power the microphone. If you would prefer a stereo microphone with this power built into the mic, look here. If you want to use this mic with your computer, you will need this device to provide the necessary power for the microphone.

Battery modules (power supplies)
In certain recording situations (especially loud situations), you may need a separate power source for your microphones. Visit our Battery Module FAQ for more info on why you would want to use a battery module. All of the single point stereo microphones are compatible with any of our battery power modules. See the battery module page for more details.

Sound Quality
The Sound Professionals microphone systems have an extended frequency response and a very natural and accurate sound, providing deep, solid bass, smooth midrange and clean highs. They have a very wide dynamic range, and will handle very high sound pressure levels without distortion or clipping. (See details above for more info). When combined with one of the battery modules, they are designed to operate into a nominal impedance of 10K Ohms.
