Description
The MK 2S exhibits a slight high-frequency emphasis for frontal sound incidence, with only a slight rolloff of high frequencies off axis and in the reverberant sound field. This frequency response characteristic falls between that of the MK 2 and the MK 3, making the capsule suitable for a wide range of applications.
Features:
- Omnidirectional pattern
- Slight high-frequency rise to compensate for losses at moderate recording distances
- For a very wide range of recording applications
- Often preferred for "spaced microphone" stereo pickup and "Decca Tree" arrangements
| Frequency range | 20 Hz - 20 kHz |
| Sensitivity | 12 mV/Pa |
| Equivalent noise level (A-weighted) | 12 dB-A |
| Equivalent noise level (CCIR) | 24 dB |
| Signal-to-noise ratio (A-weighted) | 82 dB-A |
| Maximum sound pressure level at 0.5% THD | 132 dB-SPL |
| Length | 22 mm |
| Diameter | 20 mm |
| Weight | 17 g |
