The MM-BSM-9 Binaural Omni-Directional Stereo Microphones with Shure Premium Holding Clips from Microphone Madness comes with premium windscreens and 360° rotating and detachable holding clips that can be used to attach the microphone to any mounting surface. Each microphone element is mounted into durable brass capsules. Six feet of high-quality shielded microphone cable exits the rear of each capsule and terminates into a gold-plated 1/8" (3.5mm) stereo plug.  

The microphones measure smaller than an eraser head of a pencil and yet produce a naturally crisp sound with deep bass, smooth mid-range, and clean high-range with a typical frequency response of +/-2dB. The microphones can be easily plugged into any Minidisc, DAT or analog recorder that supplies a bias voltage of between 1.5 to 10VDC at the microphone input jack.

A: The BSM-7 and BSM-9 are similar aside from the capsules used. The BSM-7 uses a Panasonic 61 series capsule. The specs and size differ slightly from the BSM-9. BSM-7 capsules are smaller in size and offer better specs in dynamic range and signal to noise ratio. Both are comparable to the Roland CS-10EM with similar listed specs.

Q: 4. Will this work with the Zoom h1?

A: I have used this product with the zoom H6 only, and it works well.I am not sure about the zoom h1. If there is a connection on the device, it should work just fine.

Q: 5. is the mic in ERP, DRP or other reference position?

A: The KU 100 is not in ERP or DRP. The KU 100 dummy head is a binaural stereo microphone. It resembles the human head and has two microphone capsules built into the ears. When listening through high-quality headphones it gives the illusion of being right at the scene of the acoustic events.

Q: 6. Are the clips removable?

A: yes.

Q: 7. How do I get the audio on my computer

A: An adapter cable and an audio USB interface would be required: Neumann AC-20 5-Pin XLR Female to 2 3-Pin XLR Male Adapter Y-Cable - 3.3' B&H # NEAC20 Universal Audio Apollo Twin USB Desktop Interface with Realtime UAD Processing for Windows B&H # UNAPTWDUSB

Q: 8. Could this be a solution if we want to capture a voice with it and send it via a radio transmitter? By using for example two DAD6034 and a Y adapter cable (mini-jack splitter) to connect everything to the wireless transmitter? If the transmitter only supports one input, we will lose stereophony, but this is not essential in our case. We want to use them instead of a lav mic (camouflage+no rustle).

A: The DPA Microphones 4560 CORE Binaural Microphone is not a good choice for a mic to use with a wireless transmitter since it has two separate output connectors and requires 5 to 10V. A wireless microphone transmitter like one from Sennheiser accepts only one input and sends a mono audio signal to the receiver. What you could do is connect the mic to separate channels on a mixer and then send the left and right audio from the mixer wirelessly to two receivers to maintain the stereophony.

Q: 9. What type of microphone is recommended for Neumann KU 100?

A: The KU 100 dummy head ships complete with a microphone built into each ear for binaural recording. The unit ships with a 5 pin to dual 3 pin XLR output cable and can be powered via its included AC adapter, AA batteries or phantom power.

Q: 10. Does DPA4560 require phantom power to operate?

A: The DPA4560 requires 5 to 10V Plug-In Power, which is different from 48v Phantom Power. Plug-In Power is typically provided by wireless transmitters, handheld recorders, and some cameras.
