Crown MB4
Crown MB4 Description:
The MB-4 is a mini rectangular microphone is designed for stand-alone use and comes with a 15' cable. All required electronics are contained within the male 3-pin XLR-type output. The cable may be positioned to exit either the bottom or rear of the microphone.
The Crown® MB-4 is a miniature boundary microphone for multi-miking applications such as teleconferencing, distance learning, boardrooms, courtrooms, and TV or theatrical applications. Double-sided sticky tape is provided for attaching the unit under shelves, on walls, etc.
Thanks to its supercardioid pickup pattern, the MB-4 greatly reduces ambient noise and pickup of room reverberation. The result is a clearer sound.
The MB-4 has a 15-foot attached cable leading to an XLR-type output connector with built-in mic electronics. It is powered by 12-48V phantom power, and is low-impedance balanced.
The MB-4E is the same, but without the electronics/connector.
The MB-4E must be used with the Crown MB-100 or MB-200 interface (not included). The interface provides these functions:
- Powers and equalizes up to four mics.
- Provides programmable switching to turn the mic on or off if desired (switches not provided).
- The MB-200 interface also has remote switch sensing via an optical coupler.
- Pluggable microphone inputs.
- Provides balanced outputs from the interface.
Crown MB4 Features:
- Tiny, inconspicuous.
- Can be used without putting holes in the table.
- Clean, clear, natural sound.
- Low-Z balanced output prevents hum and high-frequency loss.
- LED indicates mic on (MB-4E only).
- LED in MB-4E is defeatable.
- Switches can be internally programmed for touch-on/touch-off, momentary on, or momentary off.
- Remote sensing of switch closure (in MB-200 interface).
