________________________

KAM Crystal features Surface Mount Technology (SMT), a transformer-less design, and large 34mm capsule, which all contribute to the exceptional clarity of this microphone. The electronic circuit has been designed to produce a high output level as well as linear response. In comparison with the majority of other condenser microphones, Crystal can have as much as a 6 dB higher output advantage. As a result, lower preamp gain is required when using this microphone so a better signal to noise ratio is achieved. 

The 34mm capsule produces full sounding lows without emphasis on any particular frequencies. While the small form factor allows flexibility in placement.

The best uses for Crystal are: vocals, acoustic guitars, drum overheads, room/audience mics, and field recording.

Advantages of Surface Mount Technology (SMT)

Better high frequency performance due to lower resistance and inductance at soldering points

Higher mechanical resistance to vibration and shock

Reduced possibility of RF interference

Allows robust designs with high number of components in a small form factor
