The new CHM 99
Condenser Hanging Microphone provides both ease of use and a
high level of functionality. There is hardly any more affordable
and simpler solution for recording choirs at worship centers.
Suspended from the ceiling or a beam, the hanging microphone is
aligned and then fixed in the correct position. Now use the
spring steel clamp to adjust the correct angle, and off you go!
The CHM 99 is available in white or black.
XY stereo recording
Using two CHM 99 hanging microphones in an XY configuration
(coincident pair) is a good way to make stereo recordings,
particularly of choirs. However, sound source locations are
defined only by intensity differences. Adjusting the angle
between the microphones determines the width and depth of the
stereo image.
ORTF stereo recording
Developed by the French Broadcasting Authority, this technique
differs from the XY technique by recording not only intensity
differences, but also delay differences. The capsules are
aligned at an angle of precisely 110° and 170 mm / 6.7 in.
