Here's what we carry in Philmore brand:

MULTI - COLOR MICROPHONE WINDSCREEN SETS

THREE SETS OF INTERCHANGABLE WIND SCREENS -BOTH FUNCTIONAL AND DECORATIVE.

Each soft foam screen adds depth and beauty that the entertainer will find hard to resist. Instant color
is added to his/her act. Unwanted “breath” noise due to close talking is eliminated when windscreen
is slipped over microphone. POP and WIND Noise usually associated with outdoor use is filtered out

as the foam material is made of open pore urethane foam. -Indoors or out, any microphone can now

look different each time - and sound the same every time. A tip for users of mike mixers - avoid mike

mix - ups.Identify each mixer control with the color of the windscreen on the microphone it controls.

TIE-CLASP MICROPHONES

The bantam-sized ELECTRETS with the heavyweight performance.
These inconspicuous microphones are highly sensitive and have the
flat frequency response needed for high fidelity sound reproduction.
There are THREE models to choose from.
OMNI-DIRECTIONALS (Condenser Cartridge Type)
# EM300 - All new version of the popular tie clasp microphone has
pickup element and amplifier built into the tie clasp housing. The battery (easy to find, 1.5V AA) is housed in separate housing that plugs into amplifier. The 14 foot length cable is terminated with 3.5mm plug which plugs into battery housing. Unit is not supplied with battery. The No. EM300 is packaged on an attractive display card.
#'s CM55 & CM56 - These models have a smaller microphone housing, 11/16” x 5/16” D. The size reduction is accomplished by placing the battery and amplifier external to the microphone element.
The # CM55 has the battery-powered amplifier circuitry located in the standard phone plug handle at the other end of the shielded 20 foot cable. The handle is unscrewed to remove the battery. An ON-OFF switch in the handle of the plug disconnects the battery in the “OFF” position, making it unnecessary to remove the battery when the microphone is not being used.
The # CM56 has an in-line small cylindrical container for the battery
and amplifier. An additional feature is a built-in ON-OFF switch in the
cylindrical housing which disconnects the battery in the OFF position.
This switch will protect battery life if the user forgets to remove the battery when the microphone is not being used. The shielded 20 foot cable is terminated in a miniature 3.5mm plug. For applications requiring a standard phone plug, a mini plug to standard plug adaptor (Philmore No. 532A) may be used. The #'s CM55 & CM56 are both supplied in a handy reusable carrying
case. A battery is supplied and is replaceable with an Eveready 387
or equivalent.
# CMCLIP - Replacement tie clasp for Nos. CM55 & CM56

New microphones available from Philmore

Media Star™ MICROPHONES,  Sound Performance Products

Philmore MediaStar dynamic microphones have been designed to bring to the user a choice of quality microphones
at very reasonable prices. Quality sound and extreme durability are both characteristics of this fine looking series: solid metal bodies, no plastics, no thin walls. This heavy construction eliminates the hollow, on-stage “handling sounds” as well as RF interference from common devices such as radios, TV’s, local broadcast stations, etc.
Connecting cables are molded of flexible premium rubber, to provide durability and to permit the user freedom of movement. The all- important microphone sound sensing element is precision designed and quite good even in the lowest cost microphone in this series. An even (flat) frequency response, especially important to the music lover, can be expected across the human hearing range. All MediaStar microphones have a removable cord which
connects at the base of the microphone. Model 1500 has a cord terminated in a 1/4” phone plug, which is a standard for unbalanced (and usually less costly) amplifiers. All other MediaStar microphones are supplied with a cord terminated in a 3-pin XLR connector for use with amplifiers that have a balanced input. MediaStar microphones may be used with either balanced or unbalanced systems by simply changing the microphone cord. More information about this is in other parts of this literature. DID YOU KNOW?...… that it is almost impossible to overload a dynamic microphone. And that the dynamic microphone is relatively unaffected by temperature and humidity.
Media Star™ Microphones Bring to you:
Quality sound at a far better cost., Quality Construction, solid metal case, precision protective metal grilles and flexible, genuine rubber microphone cords. Versatility, may be used on stage indoors or out of doors, weather permitting. Why a Dynamic Microphone? The dynamic microphone element consists of a precision wound, pure copper coil surrounding a permanent magnet. A sensitive diaphragm picks up sound, moving the coil which generates an electrical signal matching the sound. This is the most dependable of microphone technologies. The dynamic microphone is more durable than an electret -condenser microphone, which should probably not be used in
stage performances at all. And, the dynamic microphone does not require internal batteries, which could expire at the worst possible moment. Cost differences are due primarily to increasingly precise coils, increasingly more costly magnets and higher precision in the diaphragm. Physically, all MediaStar microphones are designed to be durable, dependable and as good a value for each dollar as you will find. Many recording artists insist that a dynamic microphone yields the warmest sound. We agree.
