CAD Astatic 119L-19 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone, 19" Gooseneck

CAD Astatic 119L-19 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone, 19" Gooseneck, 2-3/4" Flange & 6' Cable – Chrome (Not Assembled)

The CAD Astatic 119L-19 is a heavy-duty cardioid dynamic gooseneck microphone designed for fixed paging, public address, and communication systems. With a 19" chrome gooseneck, 2-3/4" mounting flange, and a 6-foot shielded cable, it delivers focused, intelligible speech in busy environments such as fast-food restaurants, supermarkets, gas stations, transportation hubs, and commercial facilities. This version features no built-in switch and ships not assembled, giving installers maximum flexibility for custom integration into consoles, countertops, and enclosures.

Key Features

• Cardioid Dynamic Element: Directional cardioid pattern focuses on the talker and minimizes feedback, background noise, and room reverberation.
• 19" Heavy-Duty Gooseneck: Chrome-plated gooseneck provides generous reach and holds its position securely for precise microphone placement.
• 2-3/4" Mounting Flange: Rugged die-cast flange for permanent installation on podiums, counters, kiosks, and dispatch consoles.
• 6' Shielded Cable: Permanently attached, low-impedance shielded cable with stripped and tinned ends for direct wiring to amplifiers, terminal strips, or custom connectors.
• No On-Board Switch: Ideal for systems where muting and paging control are handled at the mixer, DSP, or paging station rather than on the mic.
• Voice-Optimized Frequency Response: Slightly rising high-frequency response and gentle low-frequency roll-off enhance speech clarity and intelligibility.
• Internal Shock Isolation: Shock-mounted element reduces handling, gooseneck, and stand-borne noise.
• Multi-Stage Blast Filter: Built-in wind and pop filter helps control breath noise, plosives, and air blasts.
• Low-Impedance Balanced Output: 500-ohm balanced output supports longer cable runs with reduced hum and interference.
• Durable Chrome Construction: Zinc and brass housing with satin chrome finish stands up to daily use in demanding commercial environments.
• Not Assembled Version: Ships with components unassembled to simplify routing of the cable and mounting hardware during installation.
