3.5 mm omnidirectional microphone for car head units

The FingerLakes FL11 is an external electret condenser microphone with a 3.5 mm jack, designed to add hands-free calling to compatible car stereos. It includes a 3 m cable, visor clip, dash mount and foam windscreen for flexible placement inside the vehicle. Installation is plug-and-play on supported Kenwood receivers.

Suits drivers upgrading factory Bluetooth

This microphone targets owners of listed Kenwood head units that accept a 3.5 mm external mic input and need clearer voice pickup than a built-in module provides. Buyers whose stereos use a proprietary multi-pin microphone connector or lack any external microphone port will not be able to use this kit.

3.5 mm connector with 58 dB signal-to-noise ratio

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 3.5 mm jack paired with a 58 dB SNR and 2.2 kOhm output impedance; only head units wired for this exact interface will recognise the microphone and deliver the quoted noise performance.

Questions about this item

How much power does the FL11 draw during a full day of driving?

The microphone operates from 1.0 V to 10 V DC with a standard voltage of 4.5 V, so it draws negligible current from the head unit's mic bias supply.

What must my car stereo already have for this microphone to work?

Your head unit needs a 3.5 mm microphone input jack; the FL11 plugs directly into that port and requires no extra adapter or power module.

Will the FL11 work with my older Kenwood DNX6190HD navigation receiver?

Yes, the DNX6190HD is listed among the compatible Kenwood models, so the FL11 will connect and function without modification.
