Description:
In design the Type 74-B is similar to the larger 44-BX, but lacks the latter’s shock mounting and transformer shielding. The transformer output impedance taps are for 50, 250, and 15,000 ohms. The windscreen is finished in satin chromium and the base is umber gray. Attached to the base is a ball and socket joint which permits rotation or tilting at any angle.
Uses
The 74-B has been widely used by broadcasters for years. It offers the smooth bi-directional response of the 44-BX in an inexpensive, small and light-weight model. The 74-B is particularly recommended for applications where the extended frequency response and more elaborate shielding and shock mounting of the 44-BX are unnecessary. It is, therefore, a very useful microphone for audition studios, announce positions, talk back and for small and occasionally used studios. It may also be used for remote pickups where the frequency response is limited by lines and other factors. While the 74-B is particularly useful for pickups from inside remote points, the Type 88-A Microphone is especially suited for general remote use. The 88-A is designed to give the greatest freedom from the effects of wind, shock and moisture.
