Static Microphone
more sophisticated version of the classic model U 87. His five directional, high-pass filter its two-position switchable attenuator and provide maximum flexibility
ARTICLE N° 9276
Specifications
-
The U 89 is a studio microphone universal in its applications.
-
Its gate protects a dual-diaphragm capsule.
-
A rotary switch under the grid can choose from five different directional; therefore, the microphone is adapted easily to large sound sources, when the musicians are scattered over a large width or a long-distance recording.
-
The amplifier accepts undistorted sound pressure levels up to 134 dB - a figure that may rise to 140 dB.
-
Another rotary switch activates a high-pass filter, operating from 80 Hz or 160 Hz.
-
Acoustic operating principle Pressure gradient transducer

Applications
The look of the U 89 is similar to the U 87 - but it is smaller and lighter, and offers five different polar patterns (instead of three) and a higher maximum level of sound pressure. This microphone lends itself more easily to different applications.
Directional
To the usual directional (omni, cardioid and bidirectional), we have added a hypercardioid and wide cardioid position. Compared to a standard cardioid pattern, the hypercardioid more effectively attenuates sounds from the sides. As for the wide cardioid, it is very convenient to record sound sources deployed on a certain openness.
Acoustic characteristics
The microphone is side impact - the Neumann logo is facing the sound source. The capsule large diameter membrane has a very flat frequency response for all directivities over a wide angle. The frequency response curves are flat up to 10 kHz, with a pickup angle of ± 100 °.
Therefore, the U 89 i has a very even diffuse response field for all directivities; an important aspect in a reverberant environment where thoughts come from all sources on the microphone capsule. The acoustic information is not affected in their tonal quality at their uptake by the microphone.
These characteristics are obtained without the use of corrective resonance effects.
The capsule is elastically mounted to avoid any structure borne noise path.
Filtering and mitigation
The integrated microphone preamp accepts undistorted sound pressure levels up to 134 dB. Given a self-noise of 17 dB (A), the total dynamic range is 117 dB. The maximum sound pressure level may rise to 140 dB SPL when the rotary attenuation switch (-6 dB) is ON.
Another rotary switch under the gate enables a high-pass filter switchable cutoff frequency, 80 Hz or 160 Hz. This filter eliminates interference in the grave, but maintains a flat frequency response, even taking a short distance when proximity effect could distort the sound spectrum.
LIN position, the high-pass filter is very low in the spectrum, with a very steep slope, to avoid overloading of the output transformer by undesirable subsonic frequencies.
Safety and reliability
All exposed surfaces of the capsule, including membranes, are at ground potential. This technology makes them immune to electrical and atmospheric interference and contamination by particles and microscopic dust.
