Overview

Deliver clear, authoritative speech in conference rooms, lecture halls and places of worship with the Countryman A3C12 podium condenser microphone. This pro microphone is tuned for voice clarity with dual capsules and a cardioid polar pattern that focuses pickup on the speaker and rejects ambient noise — helping ensure intelligible announcements and accurate recordings for AV, security and surveillance monitoring. The 12-inch length provides optimal placement at podiums or tables, while integrated damping and vibration cancellation reduce handling noise and thumps. With a wide frequency response, low self-noise and a high maximum SPL (≈130 dB), the A3C12 handles loud sources without distortion. RF-immune circuitry and a standard XLR male connector make it robust against interference and easy to integrate with mixers, preamps and recording or monitoring systems. Requires 48V phantom power and ships with a windscreen and protective case for reliable field use. Choose the Countryman A3C12 to upgrade speech capture for meetings, broadcasts, security monitoring and surveillance applications — add it to your AV or security toolkit today.
