With the HC Series, the result is clear, articulate, pile-up cutting audio critical for DX, Contest and Rag Chewing alike. Designed for amateur radio, the HC series elements take articulate SSB audio to another level. Its tiny size and easy installation makes it a perfect replacement cartridge for most microphones. Articulate audio starts at the microphone, not the DSP Circuit. The HM Series are all equipped with the HC Series microphone cartridges.
All elements have cardioid polar pattern forward.
The high and low end roll offs are appropriately set at 12dB per octave. 500 Hz to 3,800 Hz with 10 dB rise at 2,000 Hz. The HC-5 is the microphone cartridge for everyday Rag Chewing. Engineered with a frequency response designed for a fuller range of articulate voice clarity. 350 Hz to 4,000 Hz with 6 dB rise at 2,000 Hz.
