GENERAL
This microphone is designed especially for use in com-
puter voice recognition applications. It
is also suitable
for other uses such as paging, talkback, and other
communication-type applications where excellent voice
fidelity and reduction of background noises are needed.
DATA
SHEET
MODEL
VR300
A
The frequency response is tailored to produce an essen-
tially constant output voltage over the voice spectrum
when used close to the sound source. The transducer is
a low-impedance, moving coil type with integral
hum-
bucking coil.
m
The microphone case is aluminum with
a
black enam-
eled finish. It has a standard
5/a"-27 thread suitable for
mounting on a flexible gooseneck, fixed pipe, or micro-
phone stand. The unit is supplied with an attached
two-conductor shielded cable with a built-in strain
relief.

OPERATION
To obtain the best performance with the VR300, the
microphone must be used in a close-talking manner.
Type
The lips should be as close to the microphone grille as
--Dynamic, Unidirectional (cardioid), Close-Talking
comfort permits, with a distance of 1 to 5 cm (0.4 to 2 in.)
Frequency Response
100 to 7,000
Hz
(see Figure 1)
providing the greatest discrimination between voice
and background noise.
