Improved Signal/Noise:

Hush.

In order to match the high standard of today's digital live sound and recording equipment,
we improved the microphone pre-amp for the MicroMic III Series again. As a result,
its signal/noise ratio is 6 dB better than that of the previous design.

B 29 L and B 15:

Power to Your Mic. Anytime.

The new MicroMic III Series comprises an expanded line of
accessories.

The B 29 L mini mixer will power two MicroMics if your mixing console
provides no phantom power. The B 29 L features a mic/line output level
selector, mini XLR inputs, a standard XLR output, and an on/off switch.

The new B 15 battery supply connects to the C 430 overhead mic and
all other MicroMic versions with an XLR connector with integrated
phantom power adapter.

The C 420 III has been designed for professional
vocal miking on stage and is continuously adjustable
to conform to every shape of head.

The new C 444 L has been optimized acoustically for speech use by lecturers,
aerobics trainers, announcers, etc. and features an ergonomically shaped
behind-the-neck headband.

ACCESSORIES

WMS 300

The B 15 is an in-line battery supply
for C 4.. PP versions of MicroMic III Series
microphones that also connects directly
to the C 430 overhead MicroMic.
An integrated on/off switch
helps prolong battery life.

The B 15 uses a single
AAA size 1.5-V battery,
Average battery life
is 30 hours.
The B 15 can also be
used for all commercial
condenser microphones operating
off 12-V phantom power.

The B 29 L powers one or two C 4.. L version MicroMic III Series microphones
(except for the D 409 L which requires no phantom power).

The B 29 L features an on/off switch and status LED as well as a mic/line selector
for matching the output level to the input of the connected mixer or recorder, etc.

The B 29 L operates on one standard 9-V battery.

Average battery life is 50 hours.

Two volume controls allow you to balance the
levels of the two microphones.

A supplied clip makes it easy to attach

the B 29 L to a belt or guitar strap, etc.
