Adastra Conference Paging Microphone with LED Collar and Gooseneck

The Adastra conference and paging microphone is a professional audio solution designed for clear voice capture in meeting rooms, lecture halls, and public address systems. It combines a high-quality back-electret condenser microphone capsule with a flexible gooseneck assembly, allowing for precise positioning towards the speaker. The base unit houses the power supply and controls, featuring an electronic latching paging switch for reliable operation during announcements or presentations. Key features include dual power options, operating either from two AAA batteries installed in the base or from external phantom power (9-52V DC), providing flexibility in different installation environments. The microphone employs a cardioid (unidirectional) polar pattern, which focuses on sound from the front while reducing pickup of ambient noise and room acoustics. A distinctive illuminated collar around the microphone capsule lights up to provide a clear visual 'on-air' indicator, which is particularly useful in conference settings where multiple microphones might be used. This microphone is ideally suited for fixed installations where reliable, hands-free voice reinforcement is needed. Its practical design makes it an excellent choice for boardrooms, churches, schools, and council chambers. The included XLR-to-XLR lead ensures straightforward connection to mixing desks, amplifiers, or installed audio systems. The robust construction and simple setup make it a practical and functional tool for organisers, presenters, and technicians who require consistent audio quality without complex configuration.
