The Road-King 56 (RK-56)
Dynamic Microphone is designed for voice communications applications
requiring a rugged, hand-held microphone. Its noise-canceling design
makes it particularly effective for use in noisy locations, and its
excellent voice response characteristics make it a good choice in quiet
areas as well. The RK-56 uses dynamic, differential type cartridge which
discriminates against sounds greater than ½-inch (12 mm) away. A
non-marking lip guard assures the user of correct microphone-to-mouth
positioning. Best noise cancellation is achieved with the edge of the
lip guard just touching the upper lip. The push-to talk switch is
located on the top of the microphone housing. The RK-56 is equipped with
a six-conductor, black coiled cord which is relieved at the microphone
housing by a telephone type strain relief grommet. The cord may be wired
for either relay or electronic switching.
NOTICE
Telex has sold the Turner Road King name to DAS. DAS is a truck stop
supplier. The new Road King microphones are no where near as good as
when Telex produced them. Until DAS improves the quality of the RK-56,
we won't carry the microphone. Please call for a number of substitute
noise cancelling microphones. |
NOTICE
Telex has sold
the Turner brand to DAS, a truck stop
electronics distributor. Their first two batches
of microphones are not acceptable to our
standards. As a result we no longer sell the
RK-56 microphones. We have been told the company
that made the element for Telex either went out
of business or no longer makes the element. This
is what made the RK-56 the best sounding noise
cancelling microphone on the market, which
justified the price. Now the Road King look
alike mics sound better at less than half the
price. If you have an older RK-56 you can
identify it by looking at the back cover. It
says TELEX TURNER. If it only says TURNER, you
have one of the new mics and we can't improve
the sound quality. If you have an original
TELEX, don't get rid of it. We can repair any
failures, except for the element. Element
failure is rare.
We have repaired Road Kings that were in
excess fo 20 years old.
