Soundskrit Announces SKR0600 Next-Generation Directional MEMS Microphone With Improved SNR

After the success of the SKR0400, now implemented in a breadth of consumer products, Soundskrit announced its next-generation product: the SKR0600 MEMS microphone. With an improved 67.5dBA SNR, the new directional microphones provide pro-audio quality in smaller footprint. In its standard configuration, the SKR0600 microphone exhibits a dipole polar pattern from 20Hz to 20kHz, and can be converted into any cardioid-based polar pattern with the simple addition of an acoustic mesh.
