Core+ Overview

Microphones with CORE+ provide even more clarity across the entire dynamic range, from low to high sound pressure levels.

Miniature microphones with CORE+ provide unheard levels of openness. While the original CORE allows mics to handle higher SPLs without significant artifacts up to 1% THD, CORE+ eliminates those artifacts completely.

MicroLock Connector

Core+ mics are available with MicroLock connectors. MicroLock is a dependable, secure locking microphone connector with limitless flexibility and reassuring reliability. MicroLock features a more durable construction and a newly designed locking mechanism that provides a quick, easy, and secure connection, as well as an extra layer of protection against accidentally disconnecting during use.
