dbx RTA-M - Omni-Directional Reference Microphone in Black Finish

The dbx RTA-M is a precision-engineered omni-directional reference microphone, specifically designed to work with the dbx DriveRack PA series (PA, PX, PA+, PA2) and 260 units, making it an essential tool for achieving optimal sound quality in a variety of acoustic environments. With its flat frequency response, ranging from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, the RTA-M ensures accurate measurement across the entire audio spectrum, providing precise real-time analysis when used in conjunction with the System Setup Wizard and Auto EQ Wizard functions of the DriveRack series. This enables the microphone to capture and analyze audio with exceptional accuracy, allowing sound engineers to optimize room acoustics and speaker performance with ease.

The RTA-M features an omni-directional polar pattern, which is designed to pick up sound from all directions, ensuring that it captures a comprehensive and accurate representation of the sound in any environment. This feature makes it particularly useful for real-time "pinking" and audio analysis, as it can accurately detect sound reflections, room characteristics, and any potential problem frequencies. The microphone is equipped with a back electret condenser element, which ensures a high level of sensitivity (-63 dB ±3 dB), allowing it to pick up even subtle changes in audio dynamics. With an impedance of 250 ohms, the RTA-M delivers consistent performance, making it an ideal tool for use in both small and large spaces.

One of the key benefits of the RTA-M is its ability to run on phantom power, with an operating voltage range of 9V to 52V DC, supplied by the DriveRack units themselves. This ensures that the microphone is always ready for use without the need for external power sources, making it highly convenient and efficient in both live sound and studio environments. The microphone comes with a sturdy clip for easy mounting and positioning, as well as a durable case for safe storage and transportation, making it a practical choice for on-the-go sound engineers and professionals working in a variety of settings.

The dbx RTA-M is built to deliver precise, reliable results, ensuring that users can achieve the best possible sound quality, even in challenging acoustic environments. Whether used for live sound tuning, studio calibration, or optimizing speaker systems in different spaces, the RTA-M provides the high level of accuracy required for professional audio analysis and calibration. Its sleek black finish and compact design make it an unobtrusive yet powerful tool in any audio professional's kit.
