FONESTAR MICSET-C32LED

Product overview

The FONESTAR MICSET-C32LED is a unidirectional cardioid electret condenser desktop microphone with a 32 cm gooseneck, an LED operation ring, a push button with ON-OFF / PTT / PTM modes, a low-cut filter at 80 Hz and a balanced XLR output.

FONESTAR designed it for professional applications that require high sensitivity and precise sound capture. Its compact and robust design suits installers and integrators in conference, PA and sound reinforcement environments. A sensitivity of -32 dB allows detailed signal capture, the 94 dB dynamic range keeps audio quality even in acoustically challenging conditions, and with 128 dB maximum SPL and distortion below 1 % it preserves the sound without saturation.

Key features

• Crystal clear voice pick-up with a unidirectional cardioid electret condenser capsule
• 3-position push button: ON-OFF (PTL), PTT (push to talk) and PTM (push to mute)
• Bass-cut filter at 80 Hz or flat response
• Balanced XLR male 3-pin output
• 9 to 52 V DC phantom power
• LED power indicator and LED operation ring
• 32 cm gooseneck on a desktop base

Configurable push button

A selector under the base sets the push button mode: ON/OFF (PTL) to press once to talk and again to switch off, PTT to talk only while the button is held, or PTM to keep the microphone on and mute it while the button is held.

Low-cut filter

The filter selector chooses HPF, which cuts low frequencies up to 80 Hz to remove unwanted noise, or OFF for a flat response.

Professional connection

The balanced 3-pin XLR output gives a stable signal that resists interference and connects to a wide range of amplifiers and mixers. The microphone needs phantom power from 9 to 52 V DC to power its preamplifier and condenser capsule.

FONESTAR MICSET-C32LED: frequently asked questions

Does it need phantom power?

Yes. A phantom power supply of 9 to 52 V DC from the amplifier or mixer powers the preamplifier and the capsule.

What do PTT and PTM mean?

PTT (push to talk): the microphone is active only while the button is held. PTM (push to mute): it is active and mutes while the button is held. ON/OFF (PTL) toggles it with each press.

How long is the gooseneck?

32 cm, on a desktop base of 93 x 46 x 122 mm (depth); the microphone weighs 0.6 kg.

What does the LED ring show?

The LED operation ring, together with the LED power indicator, shows when the microphone is in operation.

Where can I buy the FONESTAR MICSET-C32LED in India?

The FONESTAR MICSET-C32LED is available from Shivansh Electronics, Kolkata, West Bengal, India, with delivery across India.
