Overview
A complete, supercardioid tabletop microphone solution, which is ideal for either permanently affixing to or temporarily placed on a table in conference venues, meeting rooms and board rooms.
- Outstanding audio quality
- Slim, elegant Scandinavian design
- Highly directional – very isolated
- High rejection of radio frequency interference
- Meets the needs of architects, AV consultants, system integrators and installing electricians
This solution can be scaled up as needed. In smaller rooms you might only need one microphone to capture the best sound. In larger settings, you can use multiple mics to ensure each area of the room is completely covered. The best audio quality is obtained in a one-to-one solution – one microphone position close to one speaker.
Speech intelligibility - low noise
With very low noise and a high sensitivity, our ceiling and tabletop microphones offer the most clear, transparent, and natural sound available on the small footprint mic market. They ensure maximum speech intelligibility regardless of the acoustical environment. With a linear response, low distortion and an extremely large dynamic range, they sound great in any environment.
The Microphone Base is made specifically to work with the 4098 CORE Supercardioid Podium Microphone. It has an elegant yet unobtrusive design with a white, non-reflective surface and integrated shock mount. The audio cables are an integral part of the Microphone Base unit.
The Microphone Base fits most electrical back boxes and secures ease of installation. Furthermore, the great off-axis response and the physics of sound level vs distance, makes it possible to cover a small to mid-size room with only one or a few microphones.
