Programmable
Description
The 40-118 utility microphone base is designed to accept the popular 800 or 900 series ASTATIC mini-gooseneck microphones as well as any other miniature- gooseneck microphone with a three-pin professional audio connector. The 40-118 features a specially compounded energy-absorbing “shock mount” pad to decouple the base from sources of unwanted mechanical resonance, i.e. podiums, lecterns, tables, etc. This unit features a “Soft Touch Button” with four modes of operation. The “STB” provides silent switching between the “push-to- talk”, “push-to-mute” or “power up ON or power up OFF” operational modes. These operational modes can be selected by setting the DIP switches on the bottom of the 40-118 bases. The LED illuminates when the microphone is active. The 40-118 is supplied with a rugged four conductor, two shielded seven-foot cable terminated with a professional three-pin male XLR-type connector for balanced audio. The base is constructed of die-cast zinc with a steel base plate. The base plate offers two keyholes for permanent mounting.
