Cardioide Planes Microphone KEM
With KEM the IRT has developed a completely new type of microphone. It features a disk-shaped directional characteristic, which is comparable to a line of loudspeakers.
The carefully along a common axle aligned single microphones result in a directional recording sensitivity which is useful for many applications:
- In the plane perpendicularly to the connecting axle it can be described by a cardioide, whose main direction results from the alignment of the single microphones.
- Perpendicularly to it the directional characteristic resembles some sharply bundling directional microphone.
This "flat pressed cardioide" offers advantages, e.g. with the miking of speakers (individually or together in discussion rounds) and groups at music and theatre performances.
Also in the German Bundestag, at the speaker’s desk of the plenary assembly hall in the Reichstag in Berlin, the KEM is used with great success.
