PEM 975

Common name: Microtech Gefell PEM 975

Production Status: In production

The PEM 975 is a line array vertical/horizontal cardioid condenser microphone with a line level transformer-balanced output. It uses multiple PE small diaphragm capsules to provide a polar response that behaves like a cardioid microphone in the vertical axis with a pickup pattern of 120 degrees while on the horizontal axis has the features of a directional microphone with a pickup pattern of approximately 30 degrees. The PEM 975 is in practice a special version of the KEM 975 turned by 90 degrees to be used horizontally on a lectern table. The frequency resposne has a peak of about 2 dB between 2 kHz and 12 kHz to provide optimal speech intelligibility and has a five position level control with settings of -36, -24, -12, 0 + 12 dB located on its N 975 power supply. Includes N975 power supply, C975.1 microphone cable and aluminium case.
