IK Multimedia MEMS Microphone for ARC System
The IK Multimedia MEMS Microphone is a precision condenser measurement microphone engineered for the ARC System. Its omnidirectional polar pattern is ideal for accurate spatial capture in free field measurements. When used with ARC software, it provides a calibrated, exceptionally flat frequency response from 20 Hz to 20 kHz with minimal deviation. Featuring a transformerless, electronically balanced output for clean signal integrity, this lightweight and compact microphone is essential for precise studio calibration. It operates on standard 12-48V phantom power and includes a microphone clamp.
