The C 544 is a head-worn miniature condenser microphone

with a convenient behind-the-neck headband. The microphone

has a cardioid polar pattern and therefore “prefers” sounds ar-

riving from in front of it (from the user’s mouth).

The microphone body containing the condenser transducer is

shock mounted on the microphone arm in order to suppress

cable and mechanical noise. The microphone arm will place the

microphone in front of the corner of your mouth to minimize pop

noise and protect the microphone from contamination. The sup-

plied windscreen makes the microphone even less susceptible

to wind and pop noise.

A special moisture shield on the microphone capsule makes it

difficult for moisture and makeup to penetrate into the micro-

phone. This barrier prevents the microphone sound entries from

being clogged by perspiration or makeup which would make

the sound dull and reduce the sensitivity of the microphone.

Therefore, never remove the moisture shield from the micro-

phone!
