Bartlett Microphones is now offering the TM-125HP, the High Performance version of their TM-125 boundary mic.
Originally designed for the sound reinforcement of actors in drama or musicals, the TM-125HP is also ideal for recording or broadcasting opera, drama, musicals, solo recitals, and small classical music ensembles.
The TM-125HP has 14 dBA self-noise—8 dB less than the TM-125—and a flatter frequency response intended for recording.
The TM-125 is well suited to sound reinforcement due to its increased rear attenuation and a response tailored for intelligibility.
Said designer Bruce Bartlett, “The low noise floor and the wide, smooth frequency response (50 Hz to 20 kHz) of the TM-125HP are intended to provide beautiful recording quality.”
“The cardioid polar pattern reduces pickup of room acoustics for a clearer sound. A pair of these mics can record accurate stereo in a spaced-pair or NOS array. And like all our mics, they are made in the USA.”
Miniature capsule technology prevents phase cancellations due to sound reflections off the stage floor, so speech and music tend to sound natural without the coloration caused by comb filtering.
With its low-profile steel housing and rugged construction, the TM-125HP can withstand heavy footsteps. All electronics are inside the housing. A supplied XLR mic cable plugs into a connector in the side of the mic.
