The USM 69 i is a one-point stereo microphone for all coincident stereo techniques such as XY, MS, and Blumlein. Each of the two large diaphragm capsule systems has its own pattern selector with 5 positions; the upper system can be rotated over a range of 270°. The USM 69 i can also be used in mono with two directional characteristics simultaneously.
Features:
The USM 69 i features two independent capsules and amplifier stages. The capsules are stacked in a 270 degree angle for close proximity X/Y and M/S style capturing of vocals and instruments.
Each capsule features switchable omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8, hypercardioid and wide-angle cardioid polar patterns.
The USM 69 i delivers Neumann's pristine audio quality and low noise floor, and is an ideal choice for ultra-critical studio vocal/instrument recording.
