Description
The HDU250 is a dynamic microphone
ideal for acoustically-demanding envi-
ronments. It features a heavy zinc die
cast case with a rigid, low noise cable-
mount system and a lockable silent reed
switch. It has an extra low handling
noise, floating, shock-mounted
Neodymium capsule.
Features
• Cardioid pickup pattern
• High sensitivity Neodymium capsule
• High output design with excellent gain before feedback
characteristics
• High sound pressure capability without distortion and low
sensitivity to breath/pop noise
• Efficient shock-mount system reduces handling and cable noise
• Rugged, reliable construction
• Integral multi-layer breath/wind filter
• Low-impedance operation
• Lockable, silent on/off reed switch
• Includes mic clip
