Description

The Crown® GLM or “Great Little Mic” is a miniature electret condenser microphone designed for professional recording and sound reinforcement. It offers the quality of large studio microphones, yet is nearly invisible in use.

The GLM can be attached to an acoustic guitar, sax, flute or the performer's face to allow freedom of movement.

It can be attached to drum rims to pick up a drum set without the unsightly clutter of boom stands.

These attachments can be made us-ing the included mounting hardware or tape. Used as a lavalier microphone, or hidden on a fi lm set, the GLM disappears in use yet provides excellent sound quality.

The GLM-100 is an omnidirectional mic with a low-impedance balanced XLR-type output, pow-ered by 12 to 48V phantom power.

The GLM-200 is a hypercardioid mic with a low-impedance balanced XLR-type output, powered by 12 to 48V phantom power.

The omnidirectional GLM-100 is the best choice if you need:
• Less wind noise
• Less pickup of mechanical vibration
• Deep low-frequency response down to 20 Hz
• 150 dB maximum SPL
• Smoother frequency response

The hypercardioid GLM-200 is the best choice if you need:
• Rejection of background noise, room acoustics, feedback, and sounds behind the microphone.

The GLM-100 may have adequate rejection of those unwanted sounds if it is used close to the sound source.

Made of a rugged, resilient space-age material, the GLM’s molded housing is designed to resist dam-age from demanding professional use.

Performance benefi ts of the GLM include: a wide, smooth frequency response; excellent transient response; and minimal off-axis coloration.

The GLM’s housing is designed to improve the high-frequency response of the microphone cap-sule. In contrast, the frequency response of large microphone capsules often is degraded by the microphone housing (due to sound diffraction).

Included with the GLM-100 and GLM-200 are a GLM-UM Universal Mount, a GLM-TB Tie Bar, GLM-BC Belt Clip, and a GLM-WS2 Windscreen.

Crown GLM 100 alternative

Hi, I'd like to try an omni mini condenser placed inside an acoustic guitar, maybe get two and try them in a piano. The Crown GLM 100 gets great reviews but I can't find any for sale. Can anyone recommend an alternative please, as low price as possible - thanks! Ben
