Astatic (302-10001SE) 636LSE 4-Pin Noise Canceling CB Microphone,XLR, Silver

This is long lasting microphone. I was a pilot car driver and it lasted for 2-3 years until I retired and was still going strong. The ones you get with the cobra radio would wear out in less than a year. Make sure you hold it close to your mouth while speaking because of the noise reduction. Very clear sound. Nevefr had any complaints about how I sounded on the road.

They're NOT the same quality as years ago, but this one is working pretty great so far, getting plenty of reports of sounding crystal clear from around the world on my galaxy dx-94hp running thru my brand new RM italy kl703 amp with a stryker magnet mount antenna. They feel light but again work good, came on time, cord makes it so much nicer than my other astatic mic I just bought, that one gets tangled and seems to be stretched out with minimal use, this one doesn't do that. Time will tell how they both hold up.

Mic sounds great and feels well built. Much better than the standard microphones that come with Cobra and especially Uniden CBs.

I have a cobra 29ltd cb radio. The mic that came with it went out,so I replaced it with this. Works great. Looks nice, and wasn't expensive.

Output of this mic will generally be very clear, distortion and noise free. The output is also a little weak, so you really need to "eat the mic" to get it loud enough. If you have a habit of holding the mic a few inches away and mumbling in that weak, mousy manner that irritates and annoys everyone... if people keep saying, "What'd he say???" all the time.. then this mic is not for you. The mic is very heavy duty, made of thick, tough plastic with a metal grill. I personally prefer the version with the metal jacketing on the cord. I've used these things (and the more expensive RK56 mics) for several decades. As long as you aren't passing the mic to your buddies in the back seat, the cords will hold up. The mic itself is practically bullet proof. Back in the 80's I once plugged one into a radio without screwing the outer lock ring down, as I was testing two mics while out on the road. The mic came unplugged and the connector hit me in the face (coiled cord on that one) and I let go of the mic which went right out the window, on the highway. I stopped, walked back and got it. A few scuff marks on it, and that's all. I still have it, and yes, it still works fine. Again, the mic, like all dynamic noise cancelling ones, is meant to be held right up to your mouth, with the rubber guard against your upper lip. If you don't use it this way, and don't speak up, in a normal volume, you will be on here whining and sniveling that the mic is junk. The mic is a far cry from being junk. If you're the squeaky mouse type, buy the power mic version of this thing, but chances are you're not talking INTO the mic, anyway, and you'll whine about that one, too.

Bueno

Bought it to replace the stock microphone that quit working. This one works great and looks great in the truck.

I have a few of these cb mics, and wouldn't have any other kind. Works on all makes of 4 pin mics.
