I'm not certain, but I think the microphone is made

by Wharfedale.  The DM stands for "Dynamic Microphone."

The IMP.600 means "600 ohm impedance."  The S may mean

that the mic has an on/off switch.



Taking the leap of faith that Wharfedale is the

manufacturer. ..



The Wharfedale DM2.0 microphone is designed for use in a loud

environment where you want to reject the sounds coming from everywhere

except directly in front of the mic.  So it would be a good choice for

a loud instrument like a drum, for a singer in a band, or perhaps for

a DJ at a nightclub.  It might work well for someone who needs to

address a crowd while reducing the chance of feedback from the PA system.



These mic characteristics are generally not what you'd want if you're

interested in nature recording.  A mic that is more sensitive and that

captures a wide field would be more useful.  A mic like the Wharfedale

DM2.0 might be very useful in situations where the mic could be placed

very close to a relatively loud subject, like a woodpecker rapping on

a tree trunk.



For recording bird song, most people here recommend recording in

stereo so the context of the bird's singing is captured.  The result

is a more natural sounding recording.
