PM 608 Dynamic Cardioid Microphone

The PM 608 is a wired dynamic microphone with a cardioid polar pattern that captures sound from the front while rejecting off-axis noise. It connects via an XLR cable terminated in a 1/4 inch plug for direct input to compatible mixers or amplifiers. An integrated pop filter reduces plosives and breathing artefacts, and a built-in on/off switch provides mute control at the microphone. The body combines plastic and metal construction with a metal windscreen for durability in handheld use.

Cardioid pattern handles vocals and speech

The unidirectional cardioid pickup focuses on the source directly in front of the capsule, making it suitable for karaoke singing, live vocal performance, DJ announcements and public speaking. The flat, wide frequency response aims for consistent reproduction across different voices. Because the connection is a fixed XLR to 1/4 inch cable, the microphone cannot be used with equipment that only offers XLR inputs without an adapter, and it does not support balanced line-level routing beyond the supplied cable length.

Handheld wired mic with included accessories

The package supplies the microphone, the XLR to 1/4 inch cable and a mic holder for stand mounting. The hard-wired cable means the lead cannot be swapped for a longer run or a different connector without modification. The on/off switch allows instant muting between speakers or songs, and the built-in pop filter eliminates the need for an external foam screen. Buyers who need a detachable XLR connector, balanced output on a standard three-pin XLR, or wireless operation should consider a different model.

Questions about this item

Will the PM 608's XLR to 1/4 inch cable plug straight into my older mixer's 1/4 inch inputs?

Yes, the included cable terminates in a 1/4 inch plug for direct connection to legacy mixer channels or PA inputs.

How can I confirm the cardioid pickup is rejecting off-axis sound during a sound check?

Speak into the front grille while monitoring; the unidirectional pattern should drop room noise and feedback noticeably compared with an omnidirectional mic.

Does the box include a stand adapter or must I buy a separate mic clip?

The package supplies the microphone, an XLR to 1/4 inch cable, and a mic holder for stand mounting.
