Product Description
The Trash Talk Audio Push To Talk Payphone Microphone is built from an authentic payphone handset and wired as a standard dynamic microphone, this unit delivers that iconic, gritty "telephone" tone naturally, with no plug-ins or post-processing required. This model adds an integrated momentary push-to-talk (PTT) switch for instant control. The mic stays completely silent until you press and hold the button, then cuts the signal the moment you let go. Rugged, simple, and built for the stage or studio, it's ideal for front-of-house (FOH) talkback, control room-to-live room communication, creative live vocal effects, and anywhere you want that unmistakable payphone sound with push-button control.
RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
Housed in a rugged ABS plastic enclosure, the Payphone Mic stays true to its street-tough origins. A standard XLR output ensures easy integration with mixers, audio interfaces, and outboard effects, making it simple to incorporate into any recording or live setup. Its focused cardioid pickup pattern helps reject unwanted ambient noise and isolate the source, making it especially effective in loud stage environments and busy rehearsal spaces. Despite its unconventional appearance, the Payphone Mic delivers reliable performance with low handling noise and no unnecessary gimmicks—just a durable, character-rich microphone built to spark creative experimentation.
INSTANT LO-FI CHARACTER
Whether you're layering a secondary vocal, adding bite to a snare drum, or shaping a distinctive tone on a guitar amp, the Payphone Mic brings instant lo-fi character and analog grit to your signal chain. Its limited bandwidth and unique voicing create a sound that stands apart from conventional studio microphones, making it an inspiring creative tool in both recording and live environments. Each microphone includes a stand-mounted mic clip. Combining plug-and-play simplicity, unmistakable visual appeal, and dependable construction, the Payphone Mic is far more than a novelty — it's a versatile tool for artists seeking texture, attitude, and vintage-flavored character in their productions and performances.
