Audio-Technica PRO 49QL Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone

Cardioid Gooseneck Conference Microphone with Desktop Base

This 16-inch cardioid condenser gooseneck microphone kit is designed for conference rooms, podiums, classrooms, and houses of worship that require clear, focused speech capture. The system includes a quick-mount gooseneck microphone and a weighted desktop base with integrated XLR output cable, creating a stable and professional tabletop solution. It connects directly to mixers, PA systems, and installed sound processors, making it ideal for presentations, panel discussions, and corporate meetings.

16 Inch Adjustable Gooseneck for Precise Positioning

The 16-inch flexible gooseneck allows precise microphone placement for optimal voice pickup. Users can easily adjust the angle and height to match different speaking positions while maintaining quiet repositioning. The length provides adequate reach for lecterns and conference tables without being visually distracting. Once positioned, the gooseneck holds its shape securely during use.

Cardioid Polar Pattern for Reduced Background Noise

Featuring a cardioid pickup pattern, the condenser capsule focuses on the speaker’s voice while reducing ambient room noise and off-axis sound. This directional response helps improve speech intelligibility in boardrooms, training rooms, and live presentation environments. By minimizing unwanted background audio, it supports cleaner reinforcement through PA systems and conferencing setups.

Quick Mount XLR Connection for Easy Setup

The microphone connects via a standard 3-pin XLR interface for fast attachment and removal. The desktop base includes a 9.4-foot cable terminated with a male XLR connector, enabling direct integration with professional audio equipment. The balanced output ensures low-noise signal transmission, even over longer cable runs commonly found in installed AV systems.

Weighted Desktop Base with Nonskid Stability

The included desktop base is engineered for stability without requiring permanent installation. Its weighted construction helps prevent tipping or wobbling when bumped or repositioned. Five nonskid feet provide additional grip on smooth or angled surfaces, keeping the microphone secure during meetings and live events. The angled XLR input maintains a low-profile appearance that does not obstruct sightlines.

Durable Construction for Professional Use

Built with metal components for dependable performance, the base and microphone are designed for repeated daily use in commercial and institutional settings. The sturdy construction ensures long-term reliability in conference facilities, houses of worship, educational environments, and government buildings.
