The M600 aims to enhance at the source of the recording chain minimizing the use of electronic processing such as equalisation resulting in a less processed performance for you to enjoy.

The M600’s unique design offers increased musical headroom and greater dynamic transient capability. This is achieved by a unique method of minimum contact mounting, using this method enables the body of the microphone and capsule to remain stationary and the only thing moving is the sound wave. Similar to when a camera is placed on a tripod you get a clearer image due to the reduced movement of the camera or when a speaker is placed on a heavy-duty speaker stand, tighter bass, cleaner treble and improved detail.

The M600 breaks away from the convention of suspension mounting by clamping the microphone within two low resonant aluminium rings. These rings are precision drilled and tapped at three points. At each of the three points an adjustable mounting screw is inserted, attached to the screw by way of a ballpoint socket is a techno polymer plastic (Delrin) thrust pad.

The thrust pads align themselves on to the surface of the microphone and thus prevent the rotating force of the adjustment screws being transmitted to the microphone.

When mounting the microphone, the microphone is held by hand within the centre of the rings until each screw, a total of six is adjusted to make contact with the microphone. This method of mounting the microphone within six minimum points of contact also reduces low-level mechanical vibrations below 20Hz.

It’s natural to assume that these infrasonic vibrations due to their lack of audibility within the human ears frequency response do not have any significant effect on the normal operation and frequency response of a microphone, but in tests and in practice we believe that they most certainly do.
