Frequently Asked Questions

Is this microphone compatible with any wireless system?
The PDH4 is specifically designed with a 3.5mm mini-jack connector to be compatible with Power Dynamics PDWM and STWM series wireless bodypack systems. It is recommended to verify connection and power compatibility with systems from other brands.

Will the omnidirectional pattern pick up a lot of background noise?
An omnidirectional microphone picks up sound from its entire surroundings. In controlled environments like conference rooms or stages, it works excellently. If it's going to be used in a very noisy environment, a cardioid microphone might be more suitable, although the PDH4's proximity to the mouth helps to effectively isolate the voice.

How should I position the microphone to get the best sound?
Thanks to its omnidirectional pattern, placement is very flexible. For best results, position the microphone capsule to one side of the corner of your mouth, a few centimeters away. This will prevent popping noises caused by breathing directly into the microphone.

Does it require an external power supply?
Yes, as an electret condenser microphone, it needs a small voltage to operate, which is supplied by the bodypack transmitter of the wireless system to which it is connected.
