With its low impedance and balanced output, the f9 instrument condenser microphone has interference-free performance. This microphone operates on phantom power of 12-48 V.
The f9 is a professional pre-polarized condenser microphone used for stage and studio applications. It’s an excellent choice to mic any kind of acoustic instrument, has a cardioid pick-up pattern which helps to eliminate sound from other instruments on stage from “bleeding” into the microphone. However, the f9 is much more sensitive than a dynamic and will pick-up sound from a greater distance. The acoustic nature of the instrument being miked along with how loud it is will determine how far the microphone should be from the sound source. For example, the f9 can be placed 1-2 feet above the cymbals of a drum kit and still pick up plenty of sound, whereas for a acoustic guitar, the mic will need to be placed within 8-12 inches to be effective. Allow a distance of 2-3 feet between microphones to avoid phase issues.
Characterized with a uniformly controlled cardioid polar pattern, the f9 is designed to capture the acoustics of the instrument being miked while at the same time isolating it from the rest of the instruments on stage. The f9 features a 16 mm pre-polarized capsule with gold vapor diaphragm and a frequency response of 40 Hz – 20 kHz.
