It provides a direct, tidy way to add voice as a modulation source without placing a separate microphone stand in front of the instrument. The flexible 12-inch neck lets performers position the capsule close to their mouth while playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis accessory is intended for MicroFreak owners who want hands-free vocal processing for performance, sound design, and recording. It connects directly to the MicroFreak headphone\/microphone port through its integrated 3.5 mm TRRS plug. The microphone is designed for use with MicroFreak firmware that includes Vocoder mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Vocoder mode, the MicroFreak uses the incoming voice signal to shape the synthesizer's sound, creating speech-like, rhythmic, and electronically processed vocal textures. The MicroFreak vocoder uses a 16-band filterbank, while the keyboard determines the resulting musical pitch. This makes the microphone a focused accessory for vocal-led patches rather than a general-purpose standalone recording mic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe microphone base incorporates a secondary headphone output, so monitoring remains available after the MicroFreak's combined headphone and mic connection is occupied. This integrated pass-through design helps keep a compact setup organized. Headphones are recommended when using the vocoder to help avoid acoustic feedback from speakers reaching the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIts gooseneck format fits naturally into a desktop synthesizer setup and holds its position after adjustment. The adapter base is shaped to align with the MicroFreak chassis for a secure fit. It is a practical upgrade for standard MicroFreak units that support the vocoder and did not include the dedicated microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicroFreak Vocoder Accessory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds a dedicated vocal input for compatible MicroFreak vocoder operation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e12-Inch Gooseneck:\u003c\/strong\u003e Positions the microphone close to the performer while playing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElectret Microphone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides a compact capsule designed for vocal modulation duties.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e3.5 mm TRRS Connection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Plugs into the MicroFreak combined headphone and microphone jack.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeadphone Pass-Through:\u003c\/strong\u003e Retains a headphone connection while the microphone is installed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCTIA\/AHJ Wiring:\u003c\/strong\u003e Uses the four-contact headset-style connection standard supported by MicroFreak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDesign \u0026amp; Installation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MICROFREAK MICROPHONE combines an electret capsule, flexible gooseneck, and black adapter\/splitter base in one compact assembly.
