( LLA3828 )

Paging Microphone with Digital Audio Matrix Compatibility

The Fonestar MCMD-2 desktop paging microphone combines high-quality audio capture with adaptable digital technology. Built specifically for integration into digital matrix system environments like the NMX series, this microphone transmits audio via the reliable DANTE protocol, simplifying installations and ensuring clarity in professional PA applications.

Key Features and Benefits

DANTE Audio Transmission

Featuring a DANTE output port via LAN connection (RJ-45), the Fonestar MCMD-2 can stream crystal-clear audio over networks, making it perfect for expansive installations. This protocol facilitates simple, single-cable installations and offers scalable audio distribution, significantly reducing complexity and costs compared to traditional wiring.

Push-To-Talk Ease of Use

The MCMD-2 incorporates an intuitive push-to-talk feature with 'press to talk' or 'press to close' function. Thisuser-friendly capability provides instant control over microphone operation, giving operators confidence in high-pressure and spontaneous situations, such as live announcements or emergency broadcasts.

Clear Voice Accuracy

With a supercardioid electret condenser capsule, the microphone effectively captures speech between 10-20 cm away. Offering a dynamic range of 85 dB and maintaining a signal-to-noise ratio above 72 dB, it reliably isolates and transmits voice signals clearly without feedback or unwanted noise interference.

Adjustable Gooseneck Design

The versatile 38 mm height gooseneck microphone ensures users can easily adjust direction and proximity. This flexibility significantly improves convenience, making it an essential tool in sound demanding settings such as conference rooms, command centres, and auditoriums.

Sturdy Metal Construction

Designed for resilient use, the metal-bodied microphone withstands continual professional handling. This durability significantly extends its service lifespan in scenarios with frequent adjustments or usage, a major advantage over microphones constructed with plastic housings.

Applications

The Fonestar MCMD-2 desktop paging microphone is an excellent solution within professional public address scenarios, integrating smoothly into any digital audio matrix or networked audio system. Its performance shines in:

• Corporate Conference Facilities: For clear, concise communication during meetings and presentations, allowing speakers to convey messages effectively without audio distortion.
• Command and Control Centres: Critical communication environments needing reliable audio transmission that can withstand heavy, continuous use and precise microphone positioning to maximise clarity.
• Educational Institutions: Suitable for lecture halls or auditoriums, enhancing speech intelligibility for faculty and guest speakers, delivering announcements and instructions clearly to audiences of varying sizes.
• Transportation Hubs and Stadium Facilities: Where accurate and reliable announcements are crucial, the DANTE capability of the MCMD-2 seamlessly connects into larger network distributed audio installations, reaching wider audiences with exceptional clarity.
