Product Overview

The Williams AV MIC 054 is a directional lapel clip microphone for presenters, instructors, and clergy using Williams AV body-pack transmitters in assistive listening systems. Its unidirectional electret condenser capsule focuses on the wearer’s voice and reduces pickup of ambient room noise a meaningful advantage over omnidirectional lavaliers in reverberant or noisy spaces. The 80 Hz 18 kHz response delivers natural speech for listeners on personal receivers, and the 3.5 mm mono plug connects directly to the PFM/PPA T46 transmitter. At 0.7 oz, this lapel microphone disappears on the wearer while keeping transmitted audio consistent.

Product Description

Lavalier placement is the most common microphone approach for hands-free presenters in FM assistive listening deployments, and a directional capsule like the MIC 054’s improves the signal-to-noise ratio at the transmitter input. In houses of worship, classrooms, and courtrooms environments with HVAC noise and audience sound the unidirectional pattern keeps the talker’s voice dominant in the mix delivered to assistive listening receivers.

The microphone clips to a lapel or collar using the Williams AV CLP 090 microphone clip, and the 39-inch cord reaches comfortably to a belt-worn body pack. It is specified for use with the Williams AV PFM/PPA T46 transmitter, making it a vendor-matched pickup for personal FM and Pocketalker-class systems. With a 600 nominal impedance and 1 10 VDC operating range, the capsule is powered directly by the transmitter’s microphone bias no phantom power or external electronics required.

The foam windscreen is field-replaceable with the WND 009, so the microphone stays presentable and pop-free over years of service. Compatible transmitters, receivers, and accessories are available in the Williams AV collection at Creation Networks.
