Overview
The Polsen MB-2020 is a low-profile XLR boundary microphone that’s tailored to accurately capture speech and instruments while sitting unobtrusively on a desk or tabletop. This easy-to-use boundary microphone features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the sound in front of it while minimizing off-axis sound and noise. The MB-2020’s audio quality will be a noticeable improvement over your computer’s internal microphone for video chats, conferences, and presentations. In addition to voices and speech, this boundary mic’s frequency range, sensitivity, and high SPL level allows you to record a kick or bass drum, brass, choirs, and large ensembles. The microphone runs on 48V phantom power that can be supplied via a mixing board, digital recorder, or phantom power supply. The balanced XLR output and an included XLR cable ensures clean and interference-free audio, even over a long cable run. Rugged all-metal construction makes the MB-2020 able to withstand frequent use and a perfect choice for travel. A rubber padded base keeps the mic in place on smooth or highly polished surfaces, and it decouples the mic from any vibrations that can compromise your audio. Two keyhole slots on the bottom will accept screw heads for more permanent wall or podium installation.
Features
Cardioid Polar Pattern
The MB-2020 boundary mic features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the sound in front of it while minimizing off-axis sound and noise. Cardioid mics are great for speech and solo instruments, so the MB-2020 is a great choice for video meetings, vlogs, podcasts, and voiceovers. Thanks to the cardioid polar pattern, your voice or instrument is all they’ll hear, even if you’re in a noisy environment or busy office.
Low Profile
If you’re tired of your microphone covering the bottom half of your face or having to peer around a mic that’s suspended from a broadcast arm, then the low-profile MB-2020 is for you. Place it in front of you on your desktop and it will pick up your voice clearly, leaving your face unobstructed.
Detailed Audio
This microphone features a wide frequency curve with high sensitivity and a very high SPL, so it can handle loud and sudden bursts of sound. Your audience will understand every word you say, and you can record instruments like kick drums, pianos, and brass without peaking.
Balanced Output
The microphone’s mini XLR output sends a balanced signal to a mixing board, recorder, or PA system. A balanced signal minimizes RF or EM interference, even over long cable runs.
All-Metal Construction
The MB-2020 was made for people on the go. Rugged all-metal construction will stand up to demanding conditions like being mounted on a podium or sustaining the bumps and dings from transport. You can even slip the mic in your pocket and take it to a remote location for streaming an interview or podcast.
Anti-Skid Rubber Padding
The bottom non-slip rubber pad stabilizes the microphone on smooth or highly polished surfaces. It also will decouple the microphone from the desk or table surface, so vibrations won’t compromise your audio.
