Voice Communication Microphone

The Shure Specialty to General Communications Microphone Series 5-61 is an omnidirectional, low-impedance dynamic microphone designed for use on a stand or flexible gooseneck. Its smooth frequency response is tailored for optimum speech intelligibility, making it ideal for language labs, paging applications, and base station communications. The 56 1 is also suitable for use as a talk-back or cuing microphone in TV, film, and recording studios.

→ Frequency response tailored for speech applications, with bass rolloff and mid-range “presence” rise
→ Omnidirectional pickup pattern
→ Low impedance; long lengths of cable can be used without affecting microphone response or level
→ Shock-mounted cartridge for reduced stand and handling noise
→ Rugged die-cast aluminum construction
→ Lockable stainless steel mesh grille
→ Optional gooseneck and mounting flange
