Desktop Conference Microphone

The SPECO TECHNOLOGIES MCDT300A is a condenser paging microphone built for desktop conference use. Its black plastic housing measures 15 inches tall by 6 inches deep and 4 1/2 inches wide. The unit connects via an XLR male connector and requires a 9V battery for operation. It suits offices, schools or venues needing a dedicated talk-back station.

Bundled XLR to Mini XLR Cable

The included cable converts the microphone's full-size XLR output to a mini XLR input on compatible mixers or recorders. This removes the need to source a separate adapter and ensures a secure locking connection. The supplied lead supports immediate setup for paging announcements or conference recording without extra parts.

Condenser Sensitivity and Power Limits

The condenser element captures clear speech at typical meeting distances while running on a single 9V cell. Battery life will vary with usage patterns and ambient temperature. The microphone is not suited for high-SPL sources such as amplified instruments or loud stage vocals where distortion would occur.

Questions about this item

How often will the 9V battery powering the condenser need replacement?

Battery life depends on daily talk time; expect to swap the 9 V cell every few weeks in heavy paging use.

What limits continuous operation of the MCDT300A during all‑day paging?

The 9 V battery capacity is the first limit; extended sessions will drain it before any thermal issue arises.

Does the microphone generate noticeable heat or fan noise when left on all day?

No active cooling or heating elements are present; the unit runs silently and stays at room temperature.
