The 24" A3 (Hypercardioid) 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: 4. shouldn't the swivel adapter fit better onto the light stand? mine does not sit flush onto the light stand.

A: Many light stands (conveniently) have a ¼”x20 or ⅜”x16 threaded stud on top. These conflict with most ⅝” accessory receivers. If you pop a ⅝” round stud on top of the stand, the accessory will sit flush and be a bit more secure. $5 fix and a better fit: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1305583-REG
