Crown CM-311 AHS Microphone

Same as CM-311A but mounts on a Sony MDR-7506 headphone. Great for hi-fi announcing with isolation.

Designed for broadcasters, the CrownŽ CM-311AHS is a rugged head-worn microphone that mounts on a Sony MDR-7506 or MDR-V6 headphone. The mic rejects background noise extremely well and is ideal for use in sporting events. For background noise that is extremely high, as in traffic-copters and car races, you may need the extra isolation of a David Clark headset. Crown makes an adapter for the boom on the David Clark headset. You can special-order the adapter from Crown.

The CM-311AHS is the latest version of Crown's patented DifferoidŽ technology. Its cardioid pickup pattern rejects noise from behind the microphone and its noise-canceling ability rejects ambient noise at a distance. Lightweight and comfortable, the microphone adjusts to fit any user. It mounts securely on either earpiece of the popular Sony MDR-7506 or MDR-V6 headphone. Two included foam pop filters reduce breath noise, and the windscreen reduces wind noise.

Supplied with the microphone is a belt pack. It includes a male 3-pin XLR-type output connector, a battery on/off switch, a programmable mic on/off switch, and a "Mic On" LED. The belt clip has been designed extra strong to prevent breakage and to keep it securely on your belt. The microphone is an electret condenser type, powered by phantom power or by the 9V battery in the belt pack.
