The Astatic B205-M is a boundary condenser microphone engineered for professional fixed installations where reliable speech intelligibility and unobtrusive placement are both requirements. Its subcardioid polar pattern targets sound sources directly above the mounting surface while naturally rejecting off-axis room noise and reflections, making it a practical choice for conference tables, lecterns, courtroom desks, and classroom surfaces. The integrated mute button with bi-color LED indicator gives presenters direct control without requiring a separate mute switch at the mixing console or DSP.
Powered by a back-electret condenser element, the B205-M delivers a smooth frequency response across the speech range and handles peaks up to 140 dB SPL without distortion, accommodating both quiet boardroom discussions and higher-level reinforcement scenarios. A 68 dB signal-to-noise ratio and 112 dB dynamic range translate to clean, transparent audio through virtually any professional mixer, DSP, or conferencing platform. Phantom power compatibility across a wide 9-52V range removes compatibility concerns when integrating with installed AV infrastructure.
The 3-pin XLR output provides a standard analog connection that works with any installed system without adapters or balancing hardware. The compact, low-profile form factor supports discreet table placement in visually sensitive environments such as boardrooms, broadcast studios, and government facilities where mic presence should not distract from the setting.
