At a glance

Uni-Directional Polar Pattern: The uni-directional polar pattern ensures focused and clear sound capture, ideal for reducing background noise in various recording environments.

Wide Frequency Response: With a frequency response range from 50Hz to 16KHz, this microphone can accurately capture a broad spectrum of sounds, making it suitable for high-quality audio recording.

The Lane M-16 refers to a 16mm condenser microphone capsule. It acts as the “heart” of the microphone. It converts your voice into an electrical signal. You can find these capsules in many starter studio microphones. You can also use them to fix broken microphones or build your own.

Lane M-16 Capsule Details

• Type:Electret Condenser (this means it needs a small electrical charge, often from a battery or phantom power, to work).
• Size:16mm in diameter (medium to small diaphragm).
• Polar Pattern:Unidirectional or Cardioid. This means it picks up sound best directly in front of the mic while blocking out background noise from the back.
• Frequency Response:Usually 70 Hz to 12 kHz or 100 Hz to 10 kHz. This is the range of sounds the mic can “hear.”
• Impedance:600 Ω. This is the electrical resistance of the capsule.

How it Works

Think of a condenser capsule like a drum. The sound wave hits a very thin, moving skin (the diaphragm). This skin moves closer to and further from a fixed metal plate. This movement changes an electrical current, which creates the audio signal that goes into your computer or speaker.

Common Uses

• DIY microphone projects (such as upgrading or fixing budget studio mics).
• Replacement parts for wired or wireless stage microphones.
• Small devices like intercoms or high-end cameras.
