Schertler DYN-HP-P48 - Active Electrodynamic Contact Mic for Hand Pan
Schertler DYN-HP-P48
The Schertler DYN-HP-P48 is an electrodynamic, active, fully balanced contact microphone for Hand Pan and similar instruments. The set includes a padded case and special adhesive mastic.
The DYN HP P48 contact microphone for handpans is meticulously designed for professional applications, delivering exceptional sound quality, whether in live performance, amplified or studio environments. The design stems from a collaboration with the band Hang Massive. With its rugged construction and active filter specially modified to enhance the characteristics of the instrument, this high-end transducer reproduces the natural sound of the instrument to perfection.
The DYN HP P48 can be quickly transferred between instruments during performances or recording sessions. Once in place, its lightweight design makes it unobtrusive for the musician.
A balanced XLR connector allows direct connection to a microphone input on a mixing console, or to a full-range PA system. (Note: These contact microphones require 22 to 48 VDC phantom power.) The torsion-resistant, Kevlar-reinforced cable is designed to withstand the rigors of everyday use while providing the best possible performance results.
