D 542/D 542 ST-S


  • PA microphone with rugged, all-metal body
  • Frequency response optimized for intelligibility
  • Long useful life even in tough day-to-day usage
  • Frequency response tailored to speech use

    • Rugged, affordable dynamic cardioid gooseneck microphone for general public address and communications use. The D 542 provides a frequency response tailored to speech use for optimum intelligibility as well as good offaxis rejection for high gain before feedback and suppression of unwanted ambient noise. The all-metal body ensures a long useful life for the microphone even in tough day-to-day use.

    The D 542 E features a built-in XLR connector for quick connection, while the D 542 has been designed for permanent (single-hole or screw-on) installation and comes with a 6-ft. 4-in. (2-m) fixed, unterminated cable. The D 542 ST-S is mounted on a table stand with an on/off switch and coiled cable with 3-pin XLR connector.
