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!
