The Astatic 119L Cardioid Gooseneck Microphone is designed to accurately capture speech in conferences, lectures, sermons, and general public address applications. The microphone includes a 19" gooseneck and mounting flange. Also featured is a rubber-mounting ring that supports the element and reduces gooseneck, stand and handling noise.
Its cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces off-axis and ambient audio that can cause feedback. A multi-stage blast filter protects the microphone element from noise caused by popping, breath and wind. The frequency response accentuates vocals with a slight rise in high frequencies, and a low frequency noise filter. The 119L includes a 5.5' (1.7m) long two-conductor cable. The cable is shielded to reduce noise caused by radio-frequencies and is unterminated for adapting desired connectors, or attaching to public-address amplifiers.
