Williams AV MIC 027 – Handheld Unidirectional Shotgun Microphone

Product Overview

The Williams AV MIC 027 is a handheld unidirectional microphone built for assistive listening and language interpretation systems in commercial AV environments. Its shotgun-style directional condenser element rejects off-axis noise, making it a reliable pickup source for Williams AV body-pack transmitters, Digi-Wave transceivers, and interpreter consoles. With a wide 20 Hz – 18 kHz frequency response and improved RF resistance, this handheld directional microphone delivers clear speech capture for tour guides, presenters, and interpreters. It terminates in a standard 3.5 mm mono plug for direct connection to compatible transmitter microphone inputs.

Product Description

The MIC 027 pairs a unidirectional electret condenser capsule with a shotgun-style handheld housing, giving operators a focused pickup pattern that concentrates on the talker and suppresses ambient room noise. This makes it well suited for guided tours, courtroom interpretation, and house of worship assistive listening systems where the microphone must travel with the speaker rather than live on a podium.

Improved RF resistance reduces interference when the microphone is used in close proximity to wireless body-pack transmitters — a common configuration in portable FM and Digi-Wave deployments. The 49-inch cord and 3.5 mm mono plug connect directly to Williams AV PKT body packs, DLT Digi-Wave transceivers, PPA and PFM transmitters, and the IC-2 interpreter console, so integrators can add a quality handheld pickup to an existing assistive listening system without adapters or external preamps.

With a 99 dB dynamic range, 74 dB signal-to-noise ratio, and a maximum input level of 119 dB SPL, the MIC 027 handles both conversational speech and louder presenters without distortion. A replacement windscreen is available as the Williams AV WND 027, and an optional STD 005 microphone stand allows fixed placement when needed.
