The Shure WH20 is a rugged, lightweight, dynamic headset microphone that provides high-quality voice pickup. It fits securely for active microphone users, such as aerobics instructors and musicians, with low visibility for stage appearances. Headset mic is available with different connectors.
The cardioid (unidirectional) pickup pattern provides greater gain-before-feedback and isolation from ambient noise and other unwanted sound sources. A carefully shaped frequency response includes a voice-frequency presence peak and a low-frequency roll-off to compensate for the proximity effect inherent in cardioid mics during close-talk operation.

About Headworn Microphones at Sound Productions
Small but mighty, headworn microphones are designed specifically for versatility, portability, and for delivering accurate sound without distracting your audience.
Versatility is a cornerstone of every headworn microphone, making the possible applications limitless. They’re ideal for public speaking environments including lecture halls, classrooms, business conferences, live broadcasts, and houses of worship. Singers and actors can enjoy freedom of movement on the stage. Instructors in active environments (think fitness trainers or presenters at how-to seminars) can clearly convey information while keeping their hands free for demonstrations. Because most headworn mics are designed with the mics placed at the end of repositionable cables, you can adjust the mic placement to exactly capture the sound you want.
