Beyerdynamic M 59 N(C) Dynamic Microphone

The M 59 N(C) is a rugged, vocal quality dynamic microphone employing low mass, large diaphragm and enhanced-field magnet technology designed to withstand the critical demands of in-studio or on-location ENG/EFP speech and interview applications. The microphone’s low mass, large diaphragm Macrolon element and hypercardioid polar pattern provides very fast transient response, high output, high sensitivity, with startlingly accurate reproduction of the sound source while also providing excellent off-axis rejection. Each M 59 N(C) encorporates a sophisticated internal shock-mount isolation system designed to reduce stand, boom, or handheld noise and vibration. Its durable construction and non-glare Nextel finish will provide consistent protection against the rigors of on-air and on-location ENG/EFP production applications. The M 59 N(C) also encorporates an internal multistage blast filter designed to reduce undesirable wind or pop noise. An optional WS 59 large cell windscreen is also available and recommended for on-air, voice-over and other close talking applications. The M 59 N(C) is designed to meet the critical demands of studio on-the-air or studio voice-overs while also meeting the rigors of on-location ENG/EFP news. Due to its high gain-before-feedback the M 59 N(C) is ideal for lecterns or miking choirs or music groups. The M 59 N(C) can be used on a stand, boom, gooseneck, or as a handheld microphone.
