Enjoy the freedom of hands-free audio at an affordable price with the PGA31 Headset Microphone from Shure. Ideal for general, speaking, and performance use, this condenser mic has a comfortable design and secure fit with a flexible gooseneck for optimized mobility and perfect mic placement. This makes the PGA31 headset mic a great choice for multi-instrumentalists, presenters, active performers, and anyone who needs user-friendly, reliable audio in a hands-free build.
The PGA31’s frequency response is specifically tailored to reproduce great sound for vocals. The unidirectional (cardioid) polar pattern efficiently “aims” at the desired sound source while minimizing the pickup of unwanted noise from the back and sides for higher gain-before-feedback when using a stage monitor. The PGA31 is a permanently-charged electret condenser mic, eliminating the need for an external charge and providing crisp, detailed vocals.
The PGA31 comes with a TA4F (TQG) connector, as well as a windscreen to minimize plosives, further contributing to its clean, intelligible sound reproduction. This mic is compatible with a wide range of Shure wireless systems.
