Designed especially with Motorola MIP-5000 Dispatch Console users in mind, the red button in the base has been modified to act as a Push-To-Talk button. Hardware modifications include a bright red light on the right side of the push button that illuminates when the button is down and the Push-To-Talk function has been activated. Plug & Play design means there or no additional drivers or software necessary. The base includes a one-touch toggle Press-to-Talk switch with easy-to-see indicator lights turns on when the PTT push button is down. The microphone is a beautiful matte-black with a solid metal construction, built for both appearance and durability. The especially designed stylish heavy metal base is stable enough to keep the gooseneck from tipping over even at full extension, while light enough for effortless maneuvering and portability. The Gooseneck is 18 inches long and flexible enough to retain its shape in almost any reasonable position. This provides the user an amazing amount of flexibility to position the microphone at virtually any angle with ease. Windows 8 and Windows 8.1 not supported.
