It ships with four interchangeable connectors so it works with bodypack transmitters from several major wireless systems manufacturers. Presenters, instructors and performers use it in lecture halls, corporate auditoriums, theaters and fitness studios.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC CMX826\/S headset microphone work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/CMX826-S.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC CMX826\/S beige cardioid headset condenser microphone\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CMX826 uses a back electret condenser capsule with a cardioid (unidirectional) pattern, which gives strong rejection of background noise and feedback even when the talker stands in front of loudspeakers or monitors. Its tailored 50 Hz – 16 kHz response and 128 dB maximum sound pressure suit speech as well as energetic live use such as aerobics classes or vocalists who are also performing. The lightweight, adjustable head bracket has a dual-ear construction with rubber covering, so the boom can be worn on the left or right side with a stable, comfortable fit and minimal visual impact. A highly flexible boom allows fast, accurate positioning, and a drop stopper keeps humidity away from the capsule. A connector splits the cable from the microphone, allowing quick exchange for service or when switching between transmitter brands. Included connectors cover AKG 3-pin mini XLR, Shure 4-pin mini XLR, Sennheiser 3.5 mm jack and dB Tech 3.5 mm jack, with an Audio-Technica UniPak version available as an option. The connection cable is 47.24 in long, and the microphone operates on 1.5 – 9 V DC supplied by the transmitter. A windscreen and a clothing clip are included, and replacement \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/audac-adc-mws800-s-cmx826-windscreen-beige-color\"\u003eMWS800\/S beige
