Description
The Chord FCN-35 is a neckband headset microphone made for presenters and stage performers who need their hands free. It sits discreetly on the head thanks to a flexible, neutral beige finish that blends against most skin tones, so the focus stays on the person speaking rather than the kit. The cardioid pickup pattern keeps the emphasis on the voice in front of it while cutting down on sound arriving from the sides and rear.
The microphone terminates in a threaded 3.5mm mono jack, which screws securely into the bodypack transmitter (the belt-worn radio pack that sends your audio to the receiver). This threaded fitting stops the cable working loose during movement. It is designed to work with Chord, Citronic and QTX bodypack transmitters, and it will also plug into most laptop microphone inputs if you want to use it for online calls or recording at a desk.
This is the kind of microphone you reach for when a handheld mic gets in the way. Because it wraps around the neck and sits close to the mouth, it holds a consistent level as the wearer turns their head or walks around a stage. The lightweight, flexible band keeps it comfortable across longer sessions, whether that is a lecture, a fitness class or a theatre performance. Pair it with a VHF or UHF transmitter and receiver to run fully wireless, and you have a tidy setup that keeps cables off the presenter entirely. It is a straightforward, practical choice for anyone building or expanding a wireless microphone rig.
