CAD Astatic 119S-19 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone w/ DPDT Push-to-Talk, 19"

CAD Astatic 119S-19 Cardioid Dynamic Microphone w/ DPDT Push-to-Talk, 19" Gooseneck, 2-3/4" Flange & 6' Cable – Chrome (Not Assembled)

The CAD Astatic 119S-19 is a rugged cardioid dynamic gooseneck microphone designed for professional paging, dispatch, and commercial communication systems. Featuring a DPDT push-to-talk switch, 19" chrome gooseneck, 2-3/4" mounting flange, and a 6-foot shielded cable, this mic delivers focused speech pickup and reliable performance in busy, high-noise environments. This version ships not assembled, giving installers the flexibility to route the cable, mount the flange, and finish the setup to their exact system requirements.

Key Features

• Cardioid Dynamic Element: Unidirectional pickup pattern focuses on the talker and helps reject background noise and feedback in noisy spaces.
• DPDT Push-to-Talk Switch: Long-life DPDT (double-pole, double-throw) push-to-talk switch for keying paging systems, intercoms, and external control circuits.
• 19" Heavy-Duty Gooseneck: Chrome-plated gooseneck provides wide positioning range and holds its shape, ideal for counters, podiums, and dispatch consoles.
• 2-3/4" Mounting Flange: Die-cast flange allows secure, flush-mount installation on desktops, kiosks, checkouts, and control surfaces.
• 6' Attached Shielded Cable: Durable shielded cable with unterminated leads for direct wiring into amplifiers, junction boxes, or custom connectors.
• Low Impedance Balanced Output: 500-ohm balanced design supports longer cable runs with reduced hum and noise in commercial installations.
• Built-In Blast / Pop Protection: Internal wind and blast filter helps reduce plosives and breath noise for clearer announcements.
• Shock-Isolated Element: Internal isolation minimizes handling and stand-borne vibrations transmitted through the gooseneck.
• Durable Chrome Finish: Chrome-plated housing and gooseneck provide a professional look and long-term durability in demanding environments.
• Not Assembled Version: Ships with components unassembled so installers can easily route cable, mount hardware, and integrate into custom panels.
