CAD Audio Astatic Shock Mount Base with Push-To-Talk or Push-To-Mute Switch for Gooseneck Microphones, No Phantom Power

The CAD Audio Astatic Shock Mount Base is designed to accept the popular 800 or 900 series ASTATIC mini-gooseneck microphones as well as any other miniature gooseneck microphone with a three pin professional audio connector. It features a specially compounded energy absorbing "shock mount" pad to decouple the base from sources of unwanted mechanical resonance, i. e. podiums, lecterns, tables, etc. It features a push button which can be used as a "push-to-talk" or "push-to-mute" depending on the status of the mode switch on the underside of the base. The circuit contains a highly reliable switch to operate a 55dB mute which will effectively kill audio output without causing a potentially damaging phantom power "thump" when used with electret type microphones.

It is supplied with a rugged four conductor, two shielded 7' cable terminated with a professional three pin male XLR type connector for balanced audio. The base is constructed of die cast zinc with a steel base plate. Programmable Switch The large soft touch button on this model lets you quickly and easily switch between the four different operational modes. Select your modes by using the DIP switches on the underside of the base. Balanced Audio The rugged four conductor, two shielded seven foot cable is terminated with a professional 3-pin male XLR connector so you are sure to get balanced audio.

Versatile Operation The 40-116 Desk Mount is an ideal choice for the Astatic 800 and 900 series gooseneck mics, as well as third party microphones with 3-pin XLR type connections. Shock Mounted The bottom features CAD's special energy absorbing shock mount compound to reduce vibration noise. There are also two keyholes for permanent mounting.
