3-Zone Paging Microphone
The Telex MP785 is a dynamic gooseneck microphone built for professional paging and announcement systems. Its three color-coded buttons let operators select individual zones or call all zones simultaneously from a single position. The omnidirectional pickup captures speech from any angle, making it suited to reception desks, conference rooms and public-address installations where clear, hands-free communication is essential.
Thermals, Noise and Power Draw
As a passive low-impedance dynamic transducer, the MP785 generates no heat and draws no power from the audio chain. Its 150 Ohm output connects directly to professional preamplifiers or mixing consoles without additional phantom power or active circuitry. The absence of fans, amplifiers or digital processing means the unit adds zero acoustic noise to the environment.
Zone Control and Build Quality
The three illuminated zone buttons provide immediate visual confirmation of the active paging area, reducing operator error during live announcements. A steel flex boom arm allows precise positioning while resisting fatigue from daily adjustment, and the die-cast aluminium base with satin-chrome finish withstands knocks and cleaning agents common in shared spaces. No software, drivers or configuration utilities are supplied; the microphone functions entirely through its hardware switching and standard balanced audio connection.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the MP785 and wire its 150 Ohm output?
Secure the aluminium base to the desk or lectern, then connect the low-impedance cable to a balanced mic preamp or mixer input; the common mistake is plugging it into a high-Z instrument jack, which drops level and adds noise.
Which parts of the MP785 will need replacement after heavy daily use?
The steel flex boom can fatigue after repeated repositioning, and the three zone-select switches may wear; the dynamic capsule itself is solid-state and rarely fails.
At what point does the MP785’s 100 Hz–10 kHz response become a limitation during long sessions?
Extended low-frequency content below 100 Hz — such as HVAC rumble or table thumps — will roll off, and very bright sibilance above 10 kHz is not captured, so EQ cannot restore what the capsule never hears.
