Details

The Astatic 40-118 Portable Desk Base is designed to conveniently mount the Astatic 800 and 900 series gooseneck microphones, or any third party miniature gooseneck microphone with a standard 3-pin XLR connection. The portable design enables quick and easy setup on podiums, desk tops and more.

A membrane switch features a status LED and provides Push-To-Talk and Push-To-Mute modes. A rubber shock-resistant base minimizes noise caused by shock and vibration. The 3-pin XLR female input and 7' (2.13m) XLR male output cable make installation quick and easy.

Programmable Switch
The DIP switch on the bottom allows you to select the following modes:
Push to talk momentary
Push to mute momentary
Power up on, latching toggle on/mute
Power up off, latching toggle on/mute.

Balanced Audio
The rugged four conductor, two shielded seven foot cable is terminated with a professional 3-pin male XLR connector so you are sure to get balanced audio.

LED Indicator
The LED light makes your life just a little bit easier by illuminating only when the microphone is active, so even in low light situations you know when you're live.

Versatile Operation
The 40-118 Desk Mount is an ideal choice for the Astatic 800 and 900 series gooseneck mics, as well as third party microphones with 3-pin XLR type connections.

Shock Mounted
The bottom features CAD's special energy absorbing shock mount compound to reduce vibration noise. There are also two keyholes for permanent mounting.
