Features
Overview: The Mackie EM-89D is a rugged professional microphone designed for live performance and studio recording applications. Its frequency response is tailored for vocals, but works well for miking a variety of instruments. The EM-89D includes a stand mount and a zippered storage bag.
Pickup Pattern: The Mackie EM-89D features a cardioid polar pattern, which picks up sound mostly in front of the microphone with some sound from the sides. This makes the microphone less susceptible to feedback.
Construction: The EM-89D dynamic microphone features a durable metal construction that's designed to withstand the rigors of consistent live use. The steel mesh grille protects the internal elements while resisting wear and abuse. The grille is foam-lined to help reduce explosive breath sounds and wind noise.
Mounting: The Mackie microphone includes a stand mount with a 5/8" thread, making it compatible with most mic stands and booms (sold separately).
Connector: The EM-89D features a male 3-pin XLR connector. No microphone cable is included.
Specifications:
- Frequency Response: 50Hz - 16kHz
- Polar Pattern: Cardioid
- Output Impedance: 600Ω (@1kHz)
- Sensitivity (at 1000Hz): -52dBV/Pa ± 3dB, (0dB = 1V/Pa @ 1kHz)
- Weight: 10.56 oz. (0.66 lbs.)

I'm not a professional with microphones, but I've used several and I can tell you that this Mackie EM89D does the job and at an unbeatable price. Includes the cable and to connect it to the stand. Highly recommended, I was able to get it for free with the purchase of the Mackie Thump Go.
