Trash Talk Audio Payphone Mic
The Trash Talk Audio Payphone Mic repurposes real public payphone handsets into rugged, road-ready dynamic microphones. By delivering an instant, midrange-heavy "telephone voice" natively on the way in, it injects immediate analog grit and lo-fi character into your tracks without the need for digital plug-ins or post-processing.
Pure Hardware Lo-Fi: The tailored dynamic capsule features a narrow bandpass frequency response that completely filters out sub-mud and piercing highs, leaving an honest, vintage texture that sits perfectly in a modern mix.
True to its urban origins, each mic is built from "vandal-proof" ABS plastic that minimizes handling noise and effortlessly survives heavy touring. Equipped with a focused cardioid pickup pattern for excellent off-axis rejection, it features a heavy-duty 32" metal-shielded armor cable terminating in a standard 3-pin XLR connection for seamless integration into any studio or stage setup.
Key Features
- Instant Hardware Lo-Fi: Captures the classic, narrow-band "telephone" effect natively on the way in, saving you mix time and plugin processing power.
- Focused Cardioid Capsule: The integrated capsule focuses directly on your sound source while rejecting ambient room reflections and unwanted background bleed.
- Vandal-Proof Construction: Built using rugged, heavy-duty ABS plastic true to real public payphone specifications for maximum road durability.
- Seamless Plug-and-Play Integration: Features a heavy-duty, 32" armored cable ending in a standard 3-pin XLR male output for immediate connection to any studio or stage rig.
- Ready to Mount: Includes a dedicated microphone clip for quick, secure stand mounting during tracking or live sets.
- Lifetime Support: Proudly backed by Trash Talk Audio's free lifetime repair policy to keep your mic running performance after performance.
