It delivers clear, distortion-free audio performance, even in high-volume environments. Featuring Differoid technology, this microphone effectively cancels ambient noise from stage monitors, audience, and other sources, providing up to 12dB more gain before feedback compared to conventional cardioid microphones. This design ensures superior isolation, contributing to a cleaner overall sound mix. The CM311 AESH is specifically designed for compatibility with Shure wireless body-pack transmitters, utilizing a three-pin mini XLR connector.
