The FGM-170 brings a high level of sound quality to live PA and sound reinforcement, without sacrificing any practical considerations such as feedback sound capture. The sophisticated microphone capsule designs gives a flat response across the entire audio spectrum, so vocal and instrument reproduction is excellent. Three interchangeable capsules are supplied: Omni directional, Cardioid, and Supercardioid. The light-weigh carbon boom is easy to adjust and the slim style makes it unobtrusive and elegant on stage. The is a built-in -10dB pad for sensitivity reduction, which is particularly useful when using the microphone with instruments and a low cut which can be useful in reducing stage noise. An eight metre XLR lead is supplied with each microphone and it requires standard 48 volt phantom power, although the Mic will operate over a wide voltage range.
