SpeechWare TwistMike
This second generation product from the world's premier manufacturer of microphones for the speech recognition user, SpeechWare, is a unique flexible-boom microphone incorporating an extraordinarily high-quality microphone element. By virtue of its length and flexibility, this microphone can be configured for a variety of situations. Although it includes a clamp for table or wheelchair attachment, the clamp can be removed and allows for a world of other possibilities. Potential mounting methods include:
- Clamped to a desk, work-station, wheelchair, etc. using the included clamp
- Snake-like mounting to a desk using a coil of the microphone to serve as a stable mounting platform.
- Wrapped around the neck
Note: Although a couple of the pictures shown in the gallery show a USB adapter, this product does not include the USB adapter. We do, though, consider use of the acoustically matched SpeechWare MultiAdapter to be an ideal accessory for this product. It can also be used with other USB adapters sold on our site, including the Andrea Pure Audio USB adapter (MA or SA version).
Features:
- Highly sensitive cardiod microphone capsule, the same as the award-winning TableMikes
- Outstanding voice pick up directionality, which is essential for speech recognition accuracy
- Extremely long (30" or 75 cm), thin (6 mm), lightweight and easy to bend microphone boom, attached to a standard 3.5 mm golden plated jack and special detachable clamp
- Three working modes: attached to a table (with the clamp), winded on top of any flat surface and around the shoulders (without the clamp)
- Ideal complement for existing SpeechWare USB MultiAdapter owners, providing them with identical performance as the award-winning TableMike models.
Specifications:
- Longest available (75 cm or 30") flexible microphone boom in the market
- Same noise canceling Back Electret Condenser element of the TableMike
- Cardioid Polar Pattern for great background noise rejection
- Frequency of 80Hz~20,000 Hz
- Sensitivity of -37 dB@1kHz, SPL=1Pa
- Impedance of 1700 ohms
- Signal to Noise Ratio, an exceptional 92 dB@i fs=48kHz, 1kHz at 1 Pa
- Agency Approvals by FCE, CE, BC and IC.
Our take: We have totally enjoyed evaluating a prototype of this interesting microphone. Superficially it is somewhat similar to microphones sold elsewhere, but what sets this microphone apart is its greater length, increased strength (ability to stay in the position in which you place it), and the ability to remove the clamp entirely for neck and free-mounting on a table. Like most SpeechWare products, it's not inexpensive. But it's also extremely well engineered. If you truly seek the best possible performance, consider purchasing the acoustically matched MultiAdpater USB adapter shown below. It will, however, work when plugged into the onboard computer soundcard or with other external USB adapters sold on our site.

9/18/2016 – Does this unit come with a foam wind filter? In any case will the standard SpeechWare table mike foam filters you sell suit . . .
Response From Speech Recognition Solutions: Yes, the TwistMike does come with a foam wind filter. The standard SpeechWare TableMike replacement windscreens are a bit larger than the TwistMike ones, and may not fit as well on the TwistMike.
