Professional vocal microphone

The 5 Core PM 286 WH is a white dynamic microphone with a cardioid polar pattern for singers, DJs and presenters. Its unidirectional pickup isolates the voice while reducing background noise and feedback. A built-in pop filter and an on/off switch are integrated for convenient live use. The wired XLR to 1/4 inch connection suits PA systems and audio interfaces.

Handheld build and connectivity

A reinforced ABS body and metal windscreen protect the capsule from drops and rough handling. The fixed XLR cable terminates in a 1/4 inch plug for direct insertion into mixer channels or instrument inputs. No battery or phantom power is required because the dynamic capsule operates passively. The on/off switch lets the performer mute instantly between announcements.

Dynamic capsule limits

The cardioid pattern rejects sound from the rear but still picks up loud stage monitors if aimed incorrectly. Dynamic sensitivity is lower than condenser designs so very quiet sources need close placement. The 1/4 inch plug restricts direct connection to professional XLR-only preamps without an adapter. Cable length is fixed by the integrated lead.

Questions about this item

What does the XLR to 1/4 inch connection limit in practice?

The wired XLR to 1/4 inch plug gives a stable connection with zero latency and no radio interference, so the only practical limit is the cable length you choose.

What does the PM 286 WH need to mount on a stand?

The handheld microphone body is compatible with standard mic stands; the reinforced steel windscreen and ABS body fit typical microphone clips or shock mounts.

How is the PM 286 WH set up and what step is often missed?

Plug the XLR end into your mixer or interface and the 1/4 inch plug into the speaker or PA, then slide the on-off switch to on — users sometimes forget to activate the switch.
