The WCU250 is an electret condenser, professional microphone perfectly-suited for picking up audio from large groups. Because it can hang from the ceiling and is compact in size, the WCU250 is very useful in minimizing visual distraction for the performers and the audience alike, and limits intrusion into the working space. The WCU250 cable is terminated by a mini-XLR (female). A mini-XLR to standard XLR adapter (included) houses the pre-amplifier. It requires an external 9V-52V DC phantom power supply. Features include: Cardioid pickup pattern * Utilizes a superior-quality, state-of-the-art transducer element and circuitry * Transformerless, direct-coubled design to ensure clear, transparent reproduction of even the most delicate transients at the highest output levels * Clear crisp sound with outstanding ambient noise isolation * Wide frequency response with excellent off-axis rejection * Low profile, compact, hanging-type design * Integrated metal hanger * Matte black finish
