SHM 200 Series
Gooseneck Microphones
FEATURES
• High sensitivity
• High gain before feedback
• Non-glare surface
• Available with ON/OFF-switch
• Available in different lengths
• Phantom power 11 - 52 volts
• SHM 21X with illuminated LED ring
APPLICATIONS
The gooseneck microphones of the SHM 203 - SHM 215
series are high output, miniature condenser microphones
with extraordinary sensitivity. Their cardioid polar pattern
reduces undesirable off-axis sound while providing
outstanding gain before feedback. The microphones are
ideal for speech applications such as meetings, discussions,
teleconferencing and many other applications where
maximum speech intelligibility, high gain before feedback
and unobtrusive design are required.
The microphone is mounted on an 8 mm thick gooseneck.
The microphone can be powered with any phantom power
source supplying 11 - 52 volts.
The microphones are available in many versions and
different lengths. See back side for available versions.
