The 12" A3 (Omnidirectional) from Countryman is a podium condenser microphone designed to provide clear voice reproduction for use in meetings, conventions, lectures, and houses of worship. It features dual capsules tuned for clarity, wide frequency response, low noise, and a high maximum SPL of approximately 130 dB.

Integrated damping, along with the dual-cartridge design, attenuates thumps, rumble, vibration, and handling noise. The mic’s shielding and circuit design protect it from picking up interference from radio frequencies. The supplied windscreen reduces the level of breaths and plosives.

A standard XLR 3-pin male connector allows you to connect it to most mixers and mic preamps. The A3 is powered by 48 VDC phantom power. A protective case is included.

Q: 3. In a larger area can multiple Omnidirectional mics be used without the mics be affected by signal interference with each other?

A: Unless you have some sort of physical separator like a barrier between the two microphones, you will not be able to keep the two MXBM-610/O Condenser microphones from picking up other sounds in the room as it is an Omnidirectional mic. A directional microphone would be much more appropriate for this kind of application if you are looking to cut down on bleed between mics.

Q: 7. Does it work with wireless equipment? Sennheiser G3/Rodelink, etc?

A: This lavalier mic does have a 3,.5mm connection,.and it will work well with the Rode Wirelss Go system.
