Product Overview

The Williams AV MIC 044 2P is a noise-canceling headset microphone with separate 3.5 mm microphone and headset plugs, purpose-built for the IC-2 interpreter console. The dual-plug configuration lets interpreters monitor program audio in the earpiece while speaking into the noise-canceling cardioid condenser capsule a standard requirement in simultaneous interpretation workflows. With a 150 Hz 18 kHz voice-optimized response and a lightweight headset frame, this interpreter headset microphone delivers consistent, intelligible speech pickup through long sessions. It also connects to Williams AV PPA T27, DLT 300, and PFM/PPA T46 transmitters.

Product Description

Simultaneous interpretation requires the interpreter to listen and talk at the same time, and the MIC 044 2P is wired for exactly that: one 1/8-inch (3.5 mm) mono plug carries the microphone signal to the console input while a second 1/8-inch plug feeds program audio to the integrated earpiece. This makes it a direct-connect headset for the Williams AV IC-2 interpreter console, and it remains compatible with the legacy IC-1 console still found in many installed systems.

The noise-canceling electret condenser capsule maintains voice clarity in interpretation booths, courtrooms, and conference environments where multiple interpreters work in close proximity. Because the headset positions the capsule at a fixed distance from the mouth, output level stays consistent without an operator riding gain. A windscreen is included, and the replaceable WND 008 windscreen and EAR 035 earpad keep the unit serviceable over its working life.

For single-plug transmitter applications, see the standard Williams AV MIC 044 headset microphone. Interpreter consoles, transmitters, and the full accessory line are available in the Williams AV collection at Creation Networks. This model is available while supplies last.
