Product Description
The MPM-1000 is ideal for podcasting applications or recording high-quality audio from musicians, singers, percussionists, drum sets, and other sources. An 18mm pure-aluminum-plated condenser capsule with a directed cardioid polar pattern serves as the MPM-1000’s brain. As a result? High sensitivity (-38dB 2dB (0dB = 1V/Pa @ 1kHz), a fast transient response, and wide frequency response (20 20,000Hz) work together to catch and faithfully recreate every single aspect of a sung or narrated vocal part with the least amount of interference from undesired background noise. Complicated installations are a thing of the past with the MPM-1000. All the essential equipment for seamless connectivity is provided, including a windscreen, an XLR cable, a tripod stand, and a specially designed shock mount for mounting to a conventional mic stand.
The windscreen, a shock mount specifically made for attachment to a conventional mic stand, a tripod stand, and even an XLR cable are all thoughtfully provided, providing instant recording and creative potential. Pure audio capture is always guaranteed when paired with low self-noise (17 dBA) and signal-to-noise ratio (77dB) requirements.
Features
- Perfect for recording vocals, acoustic instruments, amplifiers, and more, this studio-grade condenser microphone offers exceptional audio performance for crystal-clear audio capture.
- Directional cardioid polar pattern, 18mm diaphragm condenser capsule with pure aluminium plating
- The entire auditory range is captured with a fluid, broad frequency response (20-20,000Hz).
- Each fine detail of the source audio is captured thanks to the high sensitivity and low signal-to-noise ratio.
- For portable audio capturing, a small footprint and light form factor are ideal.

FAQs
What is the difference between the MPM-1000 and the MPM-1000 XLR?****
The MPM-1000 XLR version comes with an XLR cable, while the MPM-1000 does not.
What is the difference between the MPM-1000 and the MPM-500?****
The MPM-500 has a smaller capsule than the MPM-1000. The frequency response of the MPM-1000 is 20Hz–20000Hz, while that of the MPM-500 is 20Hz–15000Hz.
What is the difference between the MPM-1000 and the Marantz PMD661?****
The PMD661 has a smaller capsule than the MPM-1000. The frequency response of the PMD661 is 20Hz–20000Hz, while that of the MPM-1000 is 20Hz–20000Hz.
What is the difference between the Marantz PMD661 and Marantz PMD671?****
There are no differences in specifications between these two models. The only difference is that PMD671 comes with a case included in its package, while PMD661 does not come with a case.
What is the biggest advantage of condenser microphones?****
A condenser microphone may generate nuanced and high-quality sound because of the diaphragm’s low bulk. performs well with sounds at higher frequencies and vocalists. A condenser microphone performs exceptionally well with high- frequency sound and vocals due to its great sensitivity.
Why are condenser microphones used in studios?****
Because of their sensitivity and quality, condenser mics are among the most widely used mic options for studio recording applications. Condenser microphones often have a lower input sensitivity than their dynamic counterparts but offer a wider frequency response range.
What do you need with an XLR microphone?****
Use an XLR cable to connect your XLR microphone to an audio interface. Incorporate the XLR cable’s female end into the male end of the microphone. The male end of the cable should then be inserted into the audio interface’s receiver. The audio interface should now be connected to your laptop or PC via a USB connection.
Do you need an interface for XLR mics?****
Because these connections cannot be plugged into a computer directly, an audio interface is required if you want to utilize an XLR microphone to record into software or a remote recording platform.
What are the benefits of XLR mic?****
Because XLR microphones are routed through an audio interface, they frequently provide greater flexibility and customization. They are more likely to hold up under heavy use because they are frequently developed with durability in mind. Frequently, replacing individual parts is trouble-free.
Do condenser mics reduce background noise?****
So, the majority of users place a condenser microphone farther from their mouth. Moreover, the microphone will pick up more background noise the farther you are from it, including outside traffic noise, room noise, and air conditioning noise. A dynamic microphone is meant for close work and is less sensitive.
Does condenser mic reduce noise?****
Omnidirectional condenser microphones not only eliminate background noise but also enable the recording of extraordinarily high-quality audio that may not be possible with other mic types.
Does XLR microphone need sound card?****
You will require an audio interface, also referred to as a sound card or an ADDA (Analog to Digital Recording Digital to Analog Playback) converter, in order to connect an XLR microphone to a computer. Most of these audio interfaces come with at least one or more XLR input ports.
