Pronomic IM-10
Pronomic IM-10
The Pronomic IM-10 condenser microphone is a clip-on system for miking wind instruments during studio work and live performances. This omnidirectional microphone uses an electret capsule with a sensitivity of -32dB to capture sound. It connects using the supplied cable, which has a mini XLR connector that plugs into the phantom power adapter. Thanks to the flexible gooseneck, you can precisely position the capsule in relation to the instrument's bell. The entire system operates on a power supply ranging from 9 to 52V and provides stable signal transmission.

Sound pickup and polar pattern
The Pronomic IM-10 microphone uses a small-diaphragm condenser capsule with omnidirectional sound pickup. The design captures acoustic waves evenly from all directions and preserves the natural character of the instrument. Its frequency range of 20 to 20000Hz covers the entire spectrum of tones produced by wind instruments. The high-sensitivity sound pickup of -32dB faithfully transmits even subtle dynamic details of your playing. A low output impedance of 100 Ohms contributes to stable signal transmission without loss of detail.
Ambient noise suppression and wind protection
During live performances or studio work, unwanted air blasts can disrupt the result. That's why the microphone comes equipped with an effective windshield to eliminate these disturbances. The cover fits directly onto the capsule and dampens gusts of wind as well as the player's sharp breaths. This protective element helps maintain a clean, distortion-free signal even in challenging outdoor conditions. The microphone's acoustic properties remain fully intact even with the cover attached.
Connectivity and outputs
Connection to other audio devices is handled via a reliable analogue path. The microphone has a mini XLR output, which connects to the included power adapter. The long 5m cable gives the musician plenty of room to move on stage. The adapter converts the signal to a standard three-pin XLR connector for plugging into a mixing console. This connection method minimises the risk of signal interference over longer distances.
Mounting and design of the Pronomic IM-10 microphone
The microphone's design takes the safety of your musical instrument into account. A special clamp with a rubber surface holds securely onto the bell and prevents scratches to the finish. The flexible gooseneck holds the capsule's set position at the exact angle you need. This makes it easy to change the resulting sound colouration based on the distance from the source. The all-black design has a discreet appearance on the instrument and doesn't detract from the overall look during a performance.

Microphone principle
A dynamic microphone is suitable for outdoor performances, live broadcasts, music production, etc. It uses a magnet and a moving coil to capture sound.
A condenser microphone is mainly used for studio purposes. It has higher sensitivity and lower noise. It requires a separate power supply.
Frequency range
The frequency range indicates the range of frequencies that the microphone records. The wider the range, the more sounds it can capture.
Low frequencies (e.g. 20–200Hz): Bass, the deepest tones of instruments (double bass, bass drum) and male voices.
Mid frequencies (e.g. 200–3000Hz): The body of instruments, the foundation 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 the feel 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.
