The 2.5 micrometer ribbon is designed to withstand higher sound pressure volumes found close up in front of guitar amps and other louder instruments – and voices. It has a black label and grills to distinguish it from the standard BM9.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe transformer has iron-rich laminations which take a high signal level before saturation, and a lower inductance to compensate for the bass proximity effect. This gives a flatter, detailed response when working within a few inches of the sound source.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese microphones are tough enough to take on the road and have recently been used on major tours with the bands Foals and Snow Patrol. (As with all microphones, Extinct Audio's still advise carful handling.)\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"technicalspecifications\"\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eOutput impedance = 250 ohms at 1 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDirectional Pattern: True figure-8\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTransducer Element: 2.5 micrometer aluminum ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency range: \u0026lt;30 Hz – 15 kHz @ ±3 dB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 135 dB @ 20 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProximity effect: Medium\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eElectronics: Passive.
