DYNAMIC CARDIOID GOOSENECK MICROPHONE

Description

The ASTATIC 119L Series are dynamic cardioid microphones, designed especially for gooseneck mounting in quality sound reinforcement and communication installations.

A new internal vibration isolation system, consisting of a special rubber mounting ring and a rubber stabilizing ring as a support for the generating element, reduces gooseneck, stand and handling noise. An effective multi-stage blast filter controls breath "pop" and wind disturbances.Available as a 119L (chrome), 119LB (black) and 119L-19(as shown).
