DPA SC4098-BX - Supercardioid Podium Microphone, 15, 30, 45cm - XLR Connection

The DPA SC4098BX is an XLR terminating podium condenser mic with a super cardioid pick-up pattern.

Clean and intelligible sound is key when a speaker is addressing crowd, the DPA SC4098BX offers highly focused and precise pick up with rejection from spill and background noise, ensuring only the essential parts of speech are delivered to the audience.
