The Vonyx DM57A is a robust and reliable audio solution designed for those seeking uncomplicated sound quality. This dynamic microphone is distinguished by its versatility, making it a preferred choice for live vocalists, public speaking, and general sound reinforcement applications. Its engineering focuses on capturing the essence of the human voice with clarity, delivering consistent performance on stages, in rehearsal rooms, or at public events.
Built to last, the DM57A features a heavy-duty metal housing that protects the internal components from the rigors of daily use and transport. Unlike standard plastic microphones, its solid body offers a professional feel in the hand and exceptional durability against accidental bumps or drops. Furthermore, its on/off switch-free design prevents unintentional audio cut-offs, a highly valued feature in professional and fixed-installation environments where continuous sound is critical.
The audio capture quality is guaranteed by its cardioid polar pattern and integrated pop filter. The package is completed with a 5-meter XLR to 6.3 mm jack cable , allowing for immediate plug-and-play connection to a wide range of audio equipment, from mixers and amplifiers to karaoke systems, without the need to purchase additional accessories.
Main Features
-
Precise Directional Pickup: Its unidirectional cardioid polar pattern isolates the main sound source (the voice) and rejects unwanted background noise from the sides and rear, minimizing the risk of feedback.
-
Internal Anti-Pop Filter: Incorporates effective protection against popping sounds (loud "P"s and "B"s) and wind noise, guaranteeing a clean and clear signal without the need for bulky external filters.
-
"Road-Ready" Construction: Made with a durable metal alloy and a tough grid, designed to withstand life on the road and heavy use.
-
No Accidental Switch: By dispensing with an external on/off button, it eliminates the possibility of the artist or speaker accidentally turning off the microphone in the middle of a performance.
-
Universal Connectivity: Includes a high-quality 5-meter cable with a Jack (6.3mm) termination, compatible with most standard microphone inputs on consumer and professional equipment.
