MICROPHONES

MICROPHONES AND MICROPHONE SUPPORTS

The regular handheld mic for each amplifier is often the simplest & least expensive and produces good to best quality sound and volume. Those who cannot hold a mic or who prefer or needr both hands free can get good results by choosing among various mics and mic supports.. SHAKY HANDS?? POOR GRIP?? You may do well with a handheld mic braced by 2 fingers or the palm or the heel of the hand on your chin. Or try a Hands Free mic.
HANDS FREE MICS. - Weights given include cord and plug. Mics have
c" (3.5mm) plug. All mics (except throat mic) come with a windscreen to cut down on distortions from sound like "s" and "p" and to protect mic from saliva.

Hi-Gain 3-Way Headband Microphone (electret) - Cat. #16009 - Versatile uni-directional mic offers even better pick-up than the previous version for very weak, breathy or wispy voices. Mounted on a thin, flexible spring steel headband - can be bent slightly to adjust tension/pressure on the head. The adjustable stem holds the mic firmly in the postion you choose. Can be worn 3 ways as illustrated - around the back of the head, over the top of the head and around the neck.. Fits adult size head but can be adjusted here before shipping for small or child size heads. If the head measures less that is less than 16½" from the outside corner of one eye around the back of the head to the outside corner of the other eye, give us that measurement when ordering. Mounted on a spring steel headband. Weighs 1.5 oz. Cord 43 in. long.

image26.gif (6620 bytes) New DynaMIC (electret) Collar Microphone - Cat. #16041 - Unidirectional mic on a bendable gooseneck that wraps easily around the neck and allows you to bend the mic element up to the side of the mouth on either right or left. Best positioned as shown - up at lip level but well to the side so that you talk across the face of the mic. Note that his mic does NOT move when the head turns, so you can easily turn your head away from it to cough, clear your throat, eat or drink - but you must remember to turn your head to the proper positon when speaking. Also, if you are active, you will need to pin the mic under your collar to avoid it bouncing around. Weighs 3.5oz.  Cord 36" ft. long.

image27.gif (3840 bytes) High Sensitivity Throat Mic (electret) - Cat. #16033 - Voice with this  Mic is louder and provides a louder, clearer voice than other throat mics we’ve heard . It has a unique spring neckband with comfortable, inconspicuous, stable positioning, but the voice will not be as clear as with a mic at the lipline. Also, this mic, like any throat mic will amplify body noises, especially when turning the head rapidly or when swallowing liquid or food, so it is not ideal for social situations and it would usually not be the first choice for someone who can use another type of mic - though it can do a reasonable job of amplifying artificial larynx speech, especial artificial larynges used intra-orally. The throat mic may also be useful to speech pathology professionals who want to listen to and evaluate swallowing sounds. Weighs 1 oz.  Cord 36 " long.

 wpe4.jpg (1364 bytes)   DynaMIC (electret) Pencil Mic - Cat. #16043 - Weighs 2.25 oz. 4.75" long, 1/2" in diameter, cord 48" long.
>CHATTERVOX AND SPOKEMAN: This powerful mic works well even if the voice is only a very weak whisper.
>RAND AMP: Very good to provide a boost, in a small package, to a barely perceptible whisper or to enforce voice rest, but is not practical if the voice has any volume - it will overdrive and speaker and distort the sound.
>MINI-VOX: Greater output in a wide area, indoors or out, than the Mini-Vox's own mic. Not practical for use in a small room because of feedback, but it offers a great boost for someone with a very weak voice in a large area.
>VOICETTE: Not suitable. The Voicette's own hand mic offers better sound quality with the Voicette.

earhookmic.jpg (206110 bytes) Earhook mic (electret) Cat. # 16005  This is a "stage mic" that is very light weight and is a light flesh color. It is omni-directional (made to pick up sound from all around) rather than uni-directional (made to pick up sound from one spot).Uni-directional is usually a better choice for people with weak voices using personal amplifiers that are worn on the person. However, the Earhook Mic is more satisfactory and much less expensive than other microphones of this type that we have tried and may be worth it to people who really do not want to wear one of the black or dark grey microphones. Note that the windscreen is really needed for the best voice and the windscreen comes off a little too easily. You would need to get a very fine rubber band or tie a piece of thread around it.

The Earhook mic is shaped to wear over the left ear. If the right ear is preferable for you, it can be gently and carefully bent to go over the right ear instead. However, you cannot bend it around often or repeatedly as you can with the microphone stems on our Hi-Gain Three-Way Headband Mic or the DynaMic Headset Mic.


For best results with a personal amplifier, any mic
(expect the throat mic) should be at the lip line, almost touching!!! This gives the most amplification with the least effort and will cut down on feedback problems
