One-point Mic System

In situations where two microphones are required, audio setups can be challenging, especially during live shows. The USM 69 i is a powerful one-point mic system that makes it easy for you to use various stereo recording techniques. The Neumann microphone has two independent vertically-mounted dual-diaphragm capsules. These capsules feature five polar patterns and are rotatable up to 270° against each other for optimised results. With a variety of polar patterns (figure-8, cardioid, wide-angle cardioid, hypercardioid, and omnidirectional), you can set the mic to XY and MS stereo techniques. Also, the condenser capsules have separate amplifier XLR 5 output connector pins. This provides the capabilities of two microphones in one device.

Versatile Application

Without worrying about distortion or excessive noise, you can use the Neumann USM 69 i microphone for all your recording needs. A dependable stereo device for vocal and instrumental music applications, it is used to record drum overheads, harp, and grand piano sounds. It can also be used with solo instruments where spatial movement and stereo width are required to enhance the overall listening experience. Neumann's mic is also a great choice when it comes to audio book productions, radio drama alongside standard sound. You can also use it to record mono audios with separate polar patterns.

Exceptional Dependability

The USM 69 i microphone features two condenser capsules and amplifier stages that work independently, providing users with backup audio. Especially useful in high-reliability audio sessions, if one capsule or amplifier stage fails or is accidentally disconnected, the other side continues functioning. In cases where the capsule bias DC converter fails to operate, the Neumann microphone still continues to work. In this situation, both the systems select the cardioid polar pattern automatically and continue performing with a slightly decreased sensitivity. This dependable microphone also features an active subsonic filter to protect the output transformers from overloading problems.
