The Moon Mic 8’’ diaphragm microphone addresses the common flaws traditionally found in large diaphragm sub microphones whether they were commercially bought or homemade.
List of flaws; Hot signals, false tone, ringing, bidirectional noise, low quality mids to highs. EQ-ing is the most common remedy but by EQ-ing, this will cause phase shifting resulting in falsification of the original sample. This has become an excepted practice that the Moon Mic intends to break.
The Moon Mics 250 ohms are perfect for a cool smooth signal. No pad required and no phantom power. The patented housing serves two purposes.
1. To reflect unwanted sound from the rear of the microphone. This supports the cardioids polar pattern. This is why the Moon Mic is Unidirectional.
2. The interior back wall of the Moon Mic has a spherical surface, containing one dimension. HARRY F. OLSON in 1950 had proven Spherical cabinets are capable of delivering an almost perfect frequency response. This contributes to why the Moon Mics tone is so accurate.
Most sub microphones that use drum housings contain mesh skins stretched over the drum. The intent of this type of design was to enhance the low end. It was not intended to reproduce the original signal exactly. The shape of a drum is perfect for enhancing or changing sound but it is the worst shape for a microphone to remain true to the source. The mesh skins act as a coupling. This is where false tones and or ringing come from. The Moon Mic is designed to recover sound directly from the source.
The Moon Mic addresses low quality mids and highs that traditionally the process was to EQ them out! We no longer have to accept the phase shift falsification of signals that has become the norm for years. The Moon Mic can be used flat EQ-ED. The filter inside the Moon Mic will lower the mids and highs amplitude but not remove the frequencies; they are still present up to 15k creating a shelf for the primary attack microphone to lie on. Your amplifier will see only the raw low signals not signals passed through a filter.
NOTE: selecting a primary microphone of your choice must be used in tandem, you can add the mids and highs you wish. The signals will ''GLUE TOGETHER'' without the phase shift complications. This is why you will experience the most natural low end possible!
As of August 1, 2022 all Moon Mic microphones have added weight increasing mass to the diaphragm.
"Mass is a measurement of an object's tendency to resist changing its state of motion, known as inertia."
Purpose: To focus in on the most natural decay rate for the desired frequencies for the ultimate sub frequency microphone.
The changes made to the diaphragm has earned the new name
NEXT GENERATION MOON MIC!
There seems to be big misconceptions about this microphone. The Moon Mic is a dynamic microphone containing a diaphragm, magnet, and a coil, as do all dynamic microphones regardless of diaphragm size...
As the designer of the Next Generation Moon Mic microphone, sound quality has always been my number one focus. The look of the Moon Mic had to evolve around the sound requirements. The NEW High Quality DW Tom Mount with the Moon Mic microphone can't be beat!
THE MOON MIC WILL REVOLUTIONIZE THE WAY THE WORLD RECOVERS THE LOW END!!!
The Moon Mic™ will allow you to hear the most natural low end for the first time!
