Shure WH30-XLR Headworn Condenser Microphone

WH30-XLR Headworn Condenser Microphone description:

The Shure Model WH30 is a light yet rugged headset microphone. Designed for vocalists and instrument-playing vocalists, the WH30 utilizes a high quality electret-condenser cartridge suitable for all applications where mobility, comfort, low microphone-visibility, and high sound quality are required. Because of its cardioid (unidirectional) pickup pattern, the WH30 provides isolation from extraneous sound sources and high gain-before-feedback.

The wireframe and gooseneck adjust to any head size and shape. An integrated elastic headband comfortably pads and secures the headset. The WH30 is supplied with two snap-on windscreens, clothing clip, storage bag and cable-management device.

The WH30 headset microphone is a perfect fit for those who desire total freedom of movement and need the high-quality audio of a condenser microphone.

WH30XLR: For wired applications, the WH30XLR is supplied with a 1.5m (5 ft.) hi-flex cable and high quality mic preamplifier (RPM420) with a three pin XLR connector. The RPM420 preamplifier requires phantom power from any 11 - 52 V source.

Features:

• Smooth, natural frequency response comparable to professional condenser hand-held microphones
• Lightweight wireframe and headband adjust for a secure, comfortable fit
• Extra-strong, small-diameter microphone cable resists breakage
• Moisture-proof cartridge housing
• Sturdy gooseneck-boom holds mic securely in place
• lsolation shock mount for reduced handling noise
• Matte black finish for low visibility
• High input clipping level helps avoid overload distortion
• Low self-noise and high sound pressure level capability
• Reliable at temperature and humidity extremes
• The WH30 is supplied with two snap-on windscreens, clothing clip, storage bag and cable-management device
