Adastra CPM-20 Condenser Desktop Paging Microphone
The Adastra CPM-20 is a Condenser Desktop Paging Microphone combining a flexible gooseneck stem, illuminated paging button and onboard volume control in a compact, phantom-powered desktop unit.
The Adastra CPM-20 provides a neat, professional and practical paging microphone solution for a wide range of commercial environments including offices, retail outlets, reception areas and other public buildings. Designed for simplicity and reliability, the CPM-20 connects a short flexible gooseneck condenser microphone to a compact desktop base unit via XLR, with all controls and connections conveniently integrated into the base for a clean and uncluttered desktop installation.
Operation is straightforward. A single illuminated paging button on the base unit activates the microphone when pressed, with the illumination providing a clear visual indication that the microphone is live — an important feature in busy or noisy environments where confirmation of microphone status is essential. Pressing the button again deactivates the microphone, giving the operator full and intuitive control over when audio is transmitted. An onboard rotary volume control sits adjacent to the paging button, allowing the output level to be set and adjusted directly at the microphone without the need to access a remote amplifier or mixer.
Audio output is via a standard XLR connector on the base unit, making integration with PA amplifiers, mixers and paging systems straightforward. The CPM-20 is powered by standard 12–48V phantom power supplied via the XLR connection, eliminating the need for a separate power supply and keeping the installation clean and simple. The back-electret condenser capsule with cardioid polar pattern ensures clear, focused voice pickup whilst rejecting unwanted background noise from the sides and rear.
