Power Dynamics PDH1 - Omnidirectional Headset Microphone with Mini XLR

The Power Dynamics PDH1 is a headset microphone designed to deliver clear, natural voice capture in hands-free applications. This electret condenser microphone is a professional and discreet solution for speakers, vocalists, presenters, and performers who require complete freedom of movement without sacrificing audio quality. Its lightweight, ergonomic design ensures comfort even during extended use, making it an ideal tool for a wide variety of events.

Equipped with an omnidirectional capsule, the PDH1 captures sound evenly from all directions. This ensures a consistent and reliable audio signal, even if the user turns their head, eliminating variations in volume and tone. Furthermore, this polar pattern minimizes wind noise and the "proximity effect" (the increase in bass when moving closer to the microphone), resulting in a more natural and balanced vocal reproduction. It connects via a 3-pin mini-XLR connector, a robust and secure standard compatible with most Power Dynamics beltpacks and wireless systems, such as the 179.135 model, and other systems that use this connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which wireless systems is this microphone compatible with?

The PDH1 is compatible with Power Dynamics beltpack systems that use a 3-pin mini-XLR input, such as the one specified (179.135), as well as with systems from other brands that share this same standard connection.

Does it require any type of external power supply?

No, the microphone is an electret type and receives the necessary power (phantom power) directly from the beltpack or wireless transmitter to which it is connected.

Will the omnidirectional pattern pick up a lot of background noise?

Although an omnidirectional microphone picks up sound from all directions, it's designed to be used close to the mouth. This makes the user's voice significantly louder than any ambient noise, ensuring that the main sound source is clear and prominent.

Is it a durable microphone for heavy use?

Yes, it's built for regular professional use. Its headband is flexible and durable, and the cable is designed to withstand the user's constant movement.
