Frequency Response: 40 to 16,000 Hz.

Key Features:

• Supercardioid directional characteristic allows extremely high volume before feedback occurs.
• Optimum damping of handling noise owing to spring-mounted system suspension in all-metal housing.
• Hum compensator coil.
• Shock-tested.
• Built-in impact noise filter.
• Built-in pop filter.
• Noiseless reed switch.
• Quick-release mounting clip.
• Suitable for connection to all musical instrument amplifier systems.

Product Development:
This is probably the first time that a microphone manufacturer has incurred such considerable outlay to determine the genuine requirements of the special microphone user and then to transform those efforts into a new purpose-built product.

The "tailormade" frequency response pattern depicted below was achieved only after numerous comparative listening sessions with professional musicians. It was thus possible to develop the directional characteristic independent of frequency so that the much-feared onset of feedback is avoided even at maximum power.

Durability and Design:
The shock-mounted system with metallic springs remains unaffected by temperature, ensuring—together with the built-in impact noise filter—an extraordinarily high standard of handling noise damping. The shock protection is in excess of the most stringent requirements which might be imposed by the user.

For the first time in a musician's microphone, Sennheiser has answered the musician's wish for a noiseless, interlocking on/off switch with the aid of a reed contact.

Construction:
The all-metal housing of the "profipower" is in a matt-black anodised finish, giving the surface particularly durable protection against hand perspiration. The extremely rugged, interchangeable cage surrounding the actual microphone element is of a triple-layer special steel mesh.
