Equipson Mark XS 150
Equipson Mark XS 150
The Equipson Mark XS 150 microphone is a reliable solution for voice capture during various activities. This condenser (electret) model uses a cardioid directional pattern, which focuses on the sound source directly in front of the capsule. The analogue transmission technology preserves the natural character of speech without digital distortion. The headset design sits securely in place, even when the user is actively moving. It requires phantom power to supply the necessary energy for the internal preamplifier.

Sound capture and directional characteristic
The electret condenser capsule captures acoustic waves across a wide frequency range from 20Hz to 20000Hz. The cardioid directional pattern dampens unwanted sounds from the surrounding environment and focuses on the speaker's voice. The sensor operates with a sensitivity of -42dB(A) and has an impedance of 2200Ohm. This combination of parameters helps to faithfully transmit every word without unwanted background noise.
Fit and design
The headset design rests firmly on the user's head and prevents unwanted shifting during a presentation. The low weight of 100g significantly reduces fatigue, even during prolonged use on stage. The 1.5m cable provides plenty of room to move around. Compact dimensions of 20×160×200mm contribute to an unobtrusive look that won't distract the audience.
Accessories included
The package includes a foam windshield, which effectively dampens air gusts. This 'pop filter' prevents unpleasant plosives when pronouncing explosive consonants. The protective element helps to keep the recorded signal clean in various acoustic conditions. The user gets a complete set ready for immediate connection to a compatible system.

Microphone principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for open performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is primarily used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It must be powered separately.
Frequency range
The frequency range indicates the range of frequency values that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g., 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest notes of instruments (double bass, kick drum) and male voices.
Mid frequencies (e.g., 200–3000Hz): The body of instruments, the core of the voice where the ear is most sensitive, important for speech intelligibility.
High frequencies (e.g., 3000–14000Hz): Treble, details, sibilance and the "shine" of the sound.
Air band (above 14000Hz): Gives recordings a sense of expensive, super high-quality sound and space.
Sensitivity
Microphone sensitivity is the ratio of output voltage to acoustic pressure. It expresses how loud a signal the microphone produces at a given acoustic pressure; higher sensitivity means a stronger voltage and is suitable for quiet studios, while lower sensitivity is better for noisy environments as it doesn't unnecessarily amplify ambient noise.
