Close Miking System Integral 10"

Product Description

The SamSystems Integral 10" Close-Cab Miking System delivers a sonically accurate, balanced, 100% pure analogue output from a guitar or bass cab or combo's speaker, via an internally installed off-axis microphone terminated in a standard XLR connector for direct connection to a mixing desk. It fits as a passive, fit-and-forget installation with no batteries or phantom power required.

• Delivers sonically accurate, balanced 100% pure analogue output direct to the mixing desk
• Quick, clean, easy fit and forget installation with no power supply required
• Fits easily onto rear or front mounted speakers
• Removes the need for backline mics, stands and cables
• Reduces sound overspill and improves sonic consistency, live or in the studio
• Available for mono and stereo output

Construction and Fitting

A circular rigid frame is mounted internally against the speaker cabinet's baffle and held in place by the speaker itself, inside an open or closed-back cabinet or combo. The microphone capsule sits inside a central domed housing (the "pepper pot"), aimed off-axis toward the speaker's sweet spot, off-centre towards the outer edge of the cone.

Sound Character

The domed pepper pot design serves a dual purpose: it houses the flat response super cardioid dynamic microphone capsule with an exceptional hi/lo full range frequency response and extended dynamic response, while also functioning as a sonic diffuser. It calms harsh frequencies emanating from the centre of the speaker while enhancing and redirecting punchy mids and highs toward the capsule, letting the analogue audio cut through the mix.

Advantages Over Traditional Close Miking

Integral eliminates the setbacks associated with traditional close cab miking methods. It removes the need for backline mics, stands and cables, reduces costs, tidies up the visual on stage, reduces setup and soundcheck times, removes overspill and improves sonic consistency between shows.
