GENERAL
The 527B microphone is an extremely reliable handheld
dynamic microphone with an extended low- and
high-frequency response particularly suited to ham radio
use, mobile FM transmission, and top-quality paging
systems. The microphone has a clear, crisp, and natural
voice response. It features small size, light weight, and
modular construction.
The modular construction of the 527B permits ease of field
serviceability. The design of the cartridge, switch, and cable
makes them easily replaceable. The microphone is wired to
prevent lead breakage or crimping.
The unit fits naturally and comfortably in the hand and is not
affected by heat or humidity. The exclusive ARMO-DUR
®
case is immune to oil, grease, fumes, salt spray, sun, rust,
and corrosion and is outstanding in its ability to withstand
mechanical shocks and vibrations. The “Million-Cycle”
leaf-type switch is designed to withstand severe operating
conditions and constant usage.
