Uses
The 74-B has been widely used by broadcasters for years. It offers the smooth bi-directional response of the 44-BX in an inexpensive, small and light-weight model. The 74-B is par­ticularly recommended for applications where the extended frequency response and more elab­orate shielding and shock mounting of the 44-BX are unnecessary. It is, therefore, a useful microphone for audition studios, announce po­tions, talk back and for small and occasionally used studios. It may also be used for remote pickups where the frequency response is limited by lines and other factors. While the 74-B is particularly useful for pickups from inside remote points, the Type 88-A Microphone is especially suited for general remote use. It is designed to give the greatest freedom from effects of wind, shock and moisture.
