Microphone AZUSA DM-525 (MIK0004) — wired dynamic vocal microphone

The AZUSA DM-525 (MIK0004) is a wired dynamic vocal microphone designed for speech and live vocal applications. It features a robust metal construction and a cardioid-like pickup pattern that reduces off-axis noise and feedback sensitivity. The microphone connects via a standard balanced XLR connector to mixers, audio interfaces and PA systems, making it suitable for stage performances, rehearsals and public speaking situations where reliable vocal reproduction is required.

Advantages

The DM-525 offers a durable build that withstands frequent handling and transport. Its directional pickup focuses on the primary sound source while helping to minimize background noise. The wired design ensures stable signal transmission without the need for batteries, and compatibility with standard XLR inputs allows easy integration with most professional and semi-professional sound systems. The microphone’s straightforward functionality makes it practical for users with varying levels of experience.

Suitable for

• Live vocal performances on small to medium stages
• Rehearsal rooms and band practice
• Public speaking, presentations and conferences
• House of worship and community events

Key specifications

• Microphone type: dynamic
• Polar pattern: cardioid-like (unidirectional)
• Connection: balanced XLR (wired)
• Construction: metal housing for stage use
• Application: vocals and speech for live sound and reinforcement

How to use

Connect the microphone to a mixer or PA system using a standard XLR cable and set the channel gain on the mixing console to a level that captures the vocal source without clipping. Position the microphone close to the mouth, typically 5–15 cm away, and slightly off-axis to reduce plosives. For live use, monitor the sound through stage monitors or in-ear systems and adjust equalization and compression on the mixer as needed to achieve clear vocal intelligibility and appropriate presence in the mix.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a windscreen or pop filter to minimize plosive sounds in close-miking situations and apply a gentle high-pass filter on the mixing console to reduce low-frequency rumble. When using multiple microphones on stage, observe proper microphone placement and gain staging to limit feedback and bleed from other sound sources.
