Carvin cm67 User Manual

The Carvin CM67 is a dynamic unidirectional
microphone built to provide wide range repro-
duction of music and voice.  It features an
exceptionally uniform and effective unidirec-
tional pickup pattern.  The performance char-
acteristics and unique construction make it
ideal for in-studio or concert use where a
sound technician controls the mixing.  This
microphone has exceptional feedback control
and will take high input signals from drums
and instrument amps without overloading.
