The M65 is an innovative tabletop microphone system designed for applications where aesthetics, sound quality, and ease of installation are critical. The M65 is an excellent alternative to a standard gooseneck microphone for government, courtroom, boardroom, video teleconferencing (VTC), distance learning, house of worship and hospitality applications.The M65 features the Micros™ hypercardioid condenser capsule with solid brass rigid tube construction, black nickel plating, and a unique pivoting swivel mount that provides a much quieter and smoother motion than conventional gooseneck microphones. All electronics are fully integrated preamp circuitry with high sensitivity and low noise. The signal output is balanced to eliminate RF interference caused by cell phones and mobile devices. The rigid tube design helps to provide uniform placement and gain structure when multiple mics are deployed, such as in legislative applications. When not in use, the M65 can be simply laid horizontally for an unobstructed view. Built to withstand daily use, the M65 also comes with an attached foam windscreen to reduce plosives.Installing the M65 requires drawing and drilling one 1 ¼ " hole and three ? " holes into a surface, with no additional tools needed. The M65's mounting hardware easily secures the microphone in place.All M65 microphones are manufactured in a black nickel-plated fi nish with 8 ft. cable terminating in terminal block connectors. Both male and female terminal block connectors are provided.
