Pure Resonance Audio PTT1 Push-to-Talk Desktop Paging Microphone

Desktop Push-to-Talk Microphone for Paging and Announcements

The Pure Resonance Audio PTT1 is a desktop push-to-talk gooseneck microphone designed for paging, announcements, public-address systems, and everyday communication. It combines a directional dynamic microphone with a rugged metal table stand, flexible gooseneck, and simple push-to-talk control for desks, counters, offices, schools, warehouses, retail spaces, security stations, and other paging locations.

The PTT1 uses a standard 3-pin male XLR connection and includes an approximately 5-foot cable for connection to a compatible mixer, mixer amplifier, or paging system.

Who Should Choose the PTT1?

Choose the PTT1 when you need a simple desktop microphone for making clear announcements through a compatible PA or paging system.

It is especially useful for reception desks, school offices, warehouses, retail counters, security stations, front desks, and other locations where staff need quick control over when the microphone is active.

Unidirectional Dynamic Microphone

The PTT1 uses a unidirectional dynamic microphone capsule designed to focus primarily on the person speaking in front of the microphone while reducing pickup from surrounding directions.

Its 80Hz–12kHz frequency response is tailored for clear speech and announcement applications rather than full-range music recording.

Momentary and Locking Push-to-Talk Control

The desktop base provides push-to-talk control for announcements along with a locking mode for situations where the microphone needs to remain active for a longer message.

This gives staff the flexibility to make quick pages without leaving the microphone open unnecessarily while still supporting longer announcements when required.

Flexible Gooseneck

The adjustable gooseneck makes it easy to position the microphone closer to different users at a desk or counter.

Once positioned, the microphone remains conveniently available for frequent daily paging.

Rugged Metal Desktop Base

The table stand uses die-cast zinc construction for a stable and durable desktop platform.

Its metal construction is well suited to frequent daily use in offices, schools, retail environments, warehouses, and other shared workspaces.

Standard 3-Pin XLR Connection

The PTT1 terminates in a 3-pin male XLR connector and includes an approximately 5-foot cable.

Before ordering, confirm that your mixer, mixer amplifier, or paging system provides a compatible microphone input. Paging-priority behavior can depend on the connected equipment and system wiring.

No AC Power Required

Because the PTT1 uses a dynamic microphone capsule, the microphone itself does not require an AC power supply or programming for basic operation.
