Crown CM31 Microphone -- Musical Instruments and accessories

Crown CM31 Microphone

The Crown CM-31 is a professionalquality, supercardioid condenser microphone designed for inconspicuous miking of a choir, orchestra or stage. It can also hang over conference tables or discussion groups for inconspicuous isolated miking.

The CM-31 consists of two parts: the microphone with a permanently attached 30-foot (9.15-m) cable and the cylindrical electronics power module.

The mic cable connects to the power module, which adapts the microphone for phantom powering and includes a low-cut switch. Cable connection is via miniature 3-pin connectors. The power module output is balanced, low impedance. It is protected against static and radio-frequency interference.

The CM-31 has a smooth, wide-range frequency response for natural reproduction of the singing voice, organ or other musical instruments. Extreme low frequencies are filtered out to reduce pickup of room rumble.

The microphone has a built-in removable hanger which allows easy position adjustment. The CM-31 microphone and cable are black; the CM-31W microphone and cable are white.
