The Audix MBW50BHC is a modular system designed to deploy the M1370BHC hypercardioid wireless microphone up to 9ft above finished floor making it ideal for miking tiered choirs, musical ensembles or ambient miking and is simple to use. The microphone attaches to the mini-XLR connector at the end of the gooseneck on the 50" carbon fiber boom arm. To release and remove the microphone from the connector, simply push the button on the side of the mini-XLR and pull the microphone off. The boom arm then attaches to any mic stand with a standard thread. (Not included). Using either the supplied 3 or 4 pin cable (whichever is applicable) the boom arm is connected to a wireless body pack transmitter using the same push button connector described above. The wireless body pack may be mounted directly to the boom arm at the lower connector housing using the included MBWCLIP or mounted to the mic stand using the included MBWFLEX.
The M1370BHC is a low impedance microphone designed solely for wireless transmission. The M1370BHC requires 4.5V -5.5V bias power supplied by a wireless body pack transmitter and although standard 48V phantom power voltage from an audio mixer or recording device will not damage the microphone it will not pass signal.
The hypercardioid pattern is useful in acoustically reverberant spaces or there are many open microphones. This pattern is helpful in further isolating the instrument or vocal from the rest of the instruments on stage. For example a loud sound source such as drums next to a choir.
