RTS MCP-90-12 – Intercom & Commentary Units / Accessories

The RTS MICRO COL DE CYGNE 30CM is a gooseneck microphone element designed for RTS intercom headsets and commentary units. Compatibility depends on the specific RTS base unit or headset frame it terminates into. Verify your existing RTS CCU, beltpack, or commentary console accepts 30cm gooseneck attachments. RTS offers multiple connector types across product lines; confirm mechanical fit and any required adapters before procurement to avoid integration delays in OB or studio deployment.

This unit is a 30cm gooseneck microphone component only—not a standalone headset or commentary unit. It requires integration into an RTS intercom base station, headset frame, or commentary console to function. A complete working chain demands the microphone element, a compatible RTS host device (CCU, RCP, or commentary control unit), power/audio termination, and connection to your intercom matrix or router. Treat this as a replacement or spare mic element, not a standalone product.

Verified specifications for impedance and connector type are not currently available in product documentation. Before integrating into your intercom chain, contact RTS technical support or your regional distributor for electrical specifications, pin configuration, and any impedance matching requirements. This detail is critical for audio quality and compatibility with your existing RTS matrix, mixer inputs, or control protocol infrastructure. Do not assume compatibility without confirmation.

Gooseneck microphone design inherently offers proximity and isolation benefits in loud environments. However, specific frequency response, noise rejection, and sensitivity data for the RTS MICRO COL DE CYGNE 30CM are not documented here. For live sports, music broadcasts, or fast-paced OB operations, request detailed polar patterns and dynamic range specs from RTS. Confirm whether this element suits your noise floor requirements before deployment in critical intercom chains where clarity is operational priority.

As a field-replaceable microphone component, the gooseneck likely features standard RTS mechanical attachment. Maintenance typically involves cleaning the capsule and connector contacts and storing in dust-free conditions. Detailed disassembly, cleaning protocols, and spare-part intervals depend on usage frequency and environment. Consult RTS service documentation or your systems integrator for preventive maintenance schedules, especially for high-utilization commentary or production intercom positions where mic elements degrade faster.

The 30cm gooseneck offers moderate reach from a headset frame or commentary boom. Longer goosenecks provide flexibility in microphone placement and mouth-to-capsule distance; shorter elements reduce boom and improve tactile comfort. For fixed-position commentary desks, 30cm is standard and practical. For mobile or multi-talent setups with tight space constraints, confirm positioning ergonomics with your RTS hardware before purchase. Gooseneck length directly affects audio consistency and operator fatigue over 8–12-hour shifts.

The RTS MICRO COL DE CYGNE 30CM is a microphone element, not a system-level redundancy component. For mission-critical broadcasts, implement redundancy at the CCU, matrix, and beltpack level—not the microphone. However, stocking spare gooseneck elements ensures rapid swap-out if a mic fails during live service. For full redundancy strategy, design dual intercom paths, backup power supplies, and failover control protocols in your RTS architecture. Spare mic elements support operational continuity but do not replace system-level resilience planning.

Detailed power specifications for the RTS MICRO COL DE CYGNE 30CM are not available in current documentation. Gooseneck microphones may operate passively (no external power) or require phantom power depending on internal capsule design. Verify power requirements with RTS technical support before integrating into your CCU, commentary console, or intercom matrix. Incorrect power configuration can degrade audio or damage the element. Document power routing in your intercom system architecture to prevent operational failures.

Retrofit compatibility depends on your existing RTS base unit generation, connector standard, and mechanical mounting design. RTS has updated gooseneck attachment interfaces across product generations. Before retrofitting, verify your current RTS headset frame, CCU, or commentary console revision and consult RTS compatibility matrices or your systems integrator. Mechanical fit is not guaranteed across all RTS platforms. Plan compatibility assessment early in procurement to avoid field installation delays or costly return logistics.

Yes. Our used and ex-demo units undergo a full functional inspection — sensors, video outputs, control signals, optics and mechanics — including a colorimetry and sensitivity test. Each product is tested by our technicians and comes with a 90-day warranty. Contact us for the specific warranty terms of the unit you are interested in.
