VOICE TECHNOLOGIES MICROPHONES - MINIATURE
Voice Technologies is a manufacturer of high-end miniature lavalier microphones, headworn microphones and earphones for broadcast, theatre, film, video and conference applications. Established in 1998 in Zurich, Switzerland, the company continues the long tradition of Swiss precision engineering and moulding, resulting in exceptional performance and reliability in their range of miniature and ultra-miniature devices.
The miniature lavalier and headworn electret capsule microphones can be adapted to plug into the transmitter of virtually any brand of wireless system or hard-wired system. Supply and fitting of connectors can be ordered using the codes listed.
A wide range of accessories and replacement consumable parts is available. An innovative approach by Voice Technologies is to offer each microphone with a choice of options - with a full kit of accessories in a transparent waterproof case (the ‘VTO Case’), or with a more basic set of accessories and no case, or a microphone only. This enables established users or those on restricted budgets to purchase less accessory options if desired.
Full technical specifications are available at www.voicetechnologies.net. Manufactured in Switzerland. Demonstration units of certain models are available on loan, please contact our sales team for details.
VT100
The VT100 is designed for clear, accurate voice reproduction for vocalists, lecturers, stage and television talent. The low-profile design is ideal for applications requiring minimum visibility and is easily hidden in clothing or hair. The microphone capsule unit is detachable from the mounting base.
Polar pattern cardioid, frequency response 20-15000Hz, sensitivity -44dB +/-3dB, max input SPL 130dB, impedance 1600 ohms. Dimensions: 21mm length x 5.3mm diameter.
Included accessories: It is supplied either in the waterproof VTO case with mounting clip (360 degree rotatable) and windscreen, or without case and accessories.
VT202
The VT202 dual stereo microphone consists of a matched pair of tiny omni-directional microphones. The cables are terminated together into a standard 3.5mm stereo mini plug. It is uniquely appropriate for live music and environmental recording and guarantees an outstanding performance. These microphones can be placed in the ear to achieve a true binaural recording without the need for an expensive dummy head.
Polar pattern omnidirectional, frequency response 20-20000Hz, sensitivity -45dB +/-3dB, max input SPL 140dB, impedance 2000 ohms. 1.3 metre cable, fitted with 3.5mm 3-pole jack plug.
Included accessories: It is supplied in a black pouch bag with two windscreens and a dual crocodile style clip.
VT401 and VT401HS
The VT401 is a very small electret condenser microphone and extremely lightweight. Fitted with a miniature microphone capsule, it looks attractive, totally unobtrusive and is in most cases almost unnoticeable. It is excellent for stage presentations, theatre and broadcast studio operations. It is supplied in the waterproof VTO case with clip, windscreen with acoustic tube, tie-tack clip, clothing pin mount (also known as ‘Dracula’ mount as it has two parallel pins) and rubber body mount.
The VT401HS is similar, but with a higher sensitivity.
Polar pattern omnidirectional, frequency response 20-20000Hz, max input SPL 125dB, impedance 4500 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 8mm length x 3.2mm diameter. Cable 1.5 metres.
Included accessories: It is supplied in the waterproof VTO case with clip, windscreen with acoustic tube, tie-tack clip, clothing pin mount (also known as a ‘Dracula’ mount as it has two parallel, downward pointing pins) and a rubber body mount. Optional accessories: Miniature magnetic clip, magnetic hang clip.
VT402
The VT402 is an extremely light, inconspicuous miniature lavalier microphone ideally suited for vocal sound and speech application which requires much freedom of movement. It has a high level of water resistance and thus is ideal for dance and sports instructors or theatre and musicals. The windscreen which is included reduces wind and breath noise.
Polar pattern omnidirectional, frequency response 20-20000Hz, max input SPL 140dB, impedance 2000 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 3.0mm diameter. Cable 1.5 metres.
Included accessories: It is supplied in the waterproof VTO case with clip and windscreen. Optional accessories: Miniature magnetic clip, magnetic hang clip.
VT500 and VT502
Sometimes known by its nickname ‘The Streetcar’ (although not invented by Benjamin Outram!), the VT500 has an extremely smooth omnidirectional pattern control over a wide frequency range. It is designed for performing talent in broadcast, theatre, film, public address and sound reinforcement and other similar applications. Speech clarity is enhanced by a slight frequency emphasis giving excellent voice reproduction while eliminating placement constraints. Due to the unique design of the VT500, noise transmission from handling and clothing movement is kept at a minimum. An integral filter provides efficient RF suppression. The cable is smooth, rugged, sweat proof and has excellent isolation from rubbing noise.
The VT502 is a dual version of the VT500, with two capsules moulded into a ‘T’ shaped dual housing.
Polar pattern omnidirectional, frequency response 40-20000Hz, impedance 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions (VT500): 13 x 7 x 3.5mm. Cable 1.5 metres.
Included accessories: It is supplied in the waterproof VTO case with crocodile style clip, professional windscreen (shaped plastic shell with foam insert), clothing pin mount and tie-tack clip, or alternatively in a metal box with crocodile style clip, standard windscreen (foam) and tie-tack clip. Optional accessories: Cage clip, miniature magnetic clip, magnetic hang clip, dual crocodile style clip, leather body mount.
VT506
The VT506 is similar to the VT500 but has a response curve that is slightly peaked above 8kHz providing brilliance and preserving sibilance to ensure enhanced intelligibility when the microphone is hidden under clothing. It is designed for performing talent in broadcast, theatre, film, public address and sound reinforcement. An integral filter provides highly efficient RF suppression. The cable is smooth, rugged, sweat proof and has excellent isolation from rubbing noise.
Polar pattern omnidirectional, frequency response 40-20000Hz, impedance 3000 ohms nominal. Dimensions: 13 x 7 x 3.5mm. Cable 1.5 metres.
Included accessories: It is supplied in the waterproof VTO case with crocodile style clip, professional windscreen, clothing pin mount and tie-tack clip, or alternatively in a metal box with crocodile style clip, standard windscreen and tie-tack clip.
