DESCRIPTION

A distinct, high performance, partially-rigid, 18-1/4” long gooseneck condenser microphone, the GCU250 is capable of meeting the stringent demand of today's conference and PA systems. It is an intelligent choice for sound reinforcement applications in conventions, symposia, interviews, broadcasting, or audio mixing.

This microphone’s uni-directional polar pattern makes it most sensitive to sound originating directly in front of it.This provides better user sound isolation and better feedback control. Its smooth, tailored frequency response can be depended upon for clean, accurate vocal reproduction.

Reliable and efficient, the GCU250 is made to withstand the physical abuse typical of live miking situations, whether indoors or outdoors. Setup is a breeze with its XLR male type connector.It requires a 9V - 52V DC phantom power source.The GCU250 includes a windscreen. Compact, the GCU250 is designed to minimize the intrusion between the user and the audience.
