Coles 4104 Lip Ribbon Microphone with Push to Talk

Coles 4104 Lip Ribbon Microphone with Push to Talk

Capture clear broadcast-quality speech in noisy environments with this close-talking ribbon microphone featuring an integrated push-to-talk switch. Based on the classic BBC-designed 4104, it uses a noise-cancelling pressure-gradient ribbon system to prioritize the commentator’s voice while significantly reducing surrounding crowd, machinery, and environmental noise.

The lip positioning bar maintains a consistent speaking distance for a balanced frequency response and reliable noise rejection. Nose and mouth screens help reduce breath noise, popping, and other unwanted sounds. The normally muted push-to-talk switch allows the microphone output to be activated only when commentary is required, without introducing distracting clicks.
