Bosch DCN-FHH Wired Condenser Microphone - Charcoal
Experience professional-grade audio in a compact, mobile package with the Bosch DCN-FHH Wired Condenser Microphone in Charcoal. Built for presenters who move as much as they speak, this uni-directional condenser microphone combines precise VO pickup with practical design. Its built-in plop filter and windshield minimize plosive sounds and wind noise, ensuring your voice remains clean and intelligible in conference rooms, training halls, and onstage environments. Ergonomically engineered to fit comfortably in one hand, the DCN-FHH lets speakers roam freely, gesture naturally, and deliver confident performances without being tethered to a podium. When used within a Bosch DCN system, two of these microphones can be linked to the Dual Delegate Interface (DCN-DDI), enabling smooth, multi-speaker coverage that maintains consistent audio quality across participants.
- Ergonomic, one-handed handheld design for comfortable, distraction-free speaking on the move. The DCN-FHH’s balanced weight and textured grip keep it secure in your hand, even during long sessions. Its compact form fits naturally in a single hand, freeing the other to gesture or operate a presenter remote. This design is especially valuable for roaming speakers, instructors, and moderators who require mobility without sacrificing microphone proximity. By maintaining a stable proximity to the mouth, you preserve consistent gain and clarity, reducing the need for constant mic repositioning during talks or Q&A sessions. This is more than a microphone; it’s a mobility tool that supports dynamic speaking styles while preserving professional audio fidelity.
- Uni-directional condenser pickup with built-in plop filter and windshield to minimize plosives, breath noise, and wind interference. The cardioid-like pickup focuses on the speaker’s voice, reducing surrounding chatter and room ambience. The integrated windshield eliminates the need for extra accessories in most setups, simplifying transport and setup times for event staff. The result is a cleaner, more intelligible voice signal that translates well across conferencing systems and PA configurations. This is particularly beneficial in rooms with variable acoustics or where audience noise and HVAC systems can intrude on speech intelligibility.
- Ideal for conferences, meetings, broadcasts, and stage performances, delivering consistent gain across a wide range of voices. Whether the speaker uses a bold, assertive delivery or a softer, conversational tone, the microphone preserves vocal texture and intelligibility. Its directional pickup helps minimize feedback in common room setups, while pairing effectively with other DCN components to maintain a cohesive audio footprint throughout the event. The DCN-FHH’s performance shines in panel discussions, breakouts, and lecture-style formats where multiple voices may be present, ensuring fair representation of each speaker’s voice without excessive sensitivity to fluctuations in distance.
- Dual Delegate Interface (DCN-DDI) compatibility allows connecting two DCN-FHH mics for multi-speaker coverage. This feature enables natural conversations, panel debates, and Q&A sessions without swapping devices. The seamless integration with the DCN-DDI helps maintain consistent pick-up across participants, reducing the need for re-aiming or mic handling adjustments during live events. For organizers and technicians, this means simplified stage management, fewer equipment changes, and a smoother audience experience as speakers transition in and out of the dialogue. In practice, you can rely on dependable audio capture from both devices while preserving system-wide intelligibility and balance.
- Charcoal finish and rugged construction designed for high-traffic conference environments. The microphone’s finish hides fingerprints and scuffs, while the durable housing withstands daily transport in cases, racks, or podium setups. The DCN-FHH is built to endure frequent setup and breakdown cycles typical of corporate events, training days, and large conferences, ensuring dependable performance over time. Its robust design also supports long-term reliability in venues with challenging room acoustics or variable ambient noise, making it a trusted tool for professional presenters who demand consistency in every room.

How to install Bosch DCN-FHH
Installing the DCN-FHH is straightforward and keeps setup times minimal so you can focus on delivering your presentation. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
- Begin with a quick inspection of the microphone and accessories. Confirm that the DCN-FHH is clean, the built-in plop filter is seated, and the windshield is in place. Check that any cables or connectors are free from damage before connecting.
- Connect the microphone to the Bosch DCN system or compatible audio interface using the appropriate cable specified by your system. Ensure a secure, locked connection to prevent accidental unplugging during setup or operation.
- Power on the host system and verify that phantom power is supplied if required by the DCN configuration. If your setup uses a dedicated preamp or mixer, enable phantom power as needed and verify that the input channel is active and unmuted.
- Conduct a basic mic placement check. Hold the DCN-FHH at a comfortable distance (roughly 5–15 cm from the mouth) and speak a sample phrase. Observe the level on the mixer or system meter and adjust the gain to avoid clipping while maintaining a strong, clear signal. Maintain a consistent distance during the entire presentation to preserve even loudness and tonal balance.
- If you’re leveraging two mics with the DCN-DDI, connect the second DCN-FHH to the second input as per your DCN-DDI guidelines. Run a quick test to ensure both mics are picking up clearly and that the system evenly distributes levels between the two sources. Adjust panning or level balance in the host system to achieve a natural stereo or blended mono result as required by your event.
- Test in the actual room before the event begins. Check for feedback potential, unwanted room noise, and any alignment issues. If necessary, apply minimal equalization or gain adjustments in the system to optimize voice presence and reduce background noise. Confirm that the windscreen and plop filter remain properly seated after handling during setup.
- After the session, power down and store the microphone in its protective case or rack. Keeping the DCN-FHH free from dust and impact helps preserve sound integrity and prolongs the life of the built-in components, such as the windshield and plop filter.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the DCN-FHH best used for? It is a compact, handheld condenser microphone designed for presenters who move during talks. Its uni-directional pickup and built-in windscreen/plop filter make it ideal for conferences, training sessions, and stage performances where mobility and clear VO are essential.
- Can I use two DCN-FHH microphones with the DCN-DDI? Yes. The DCN-FHH is compatible with the Dual Delegate Interface (DCN-DDI), allowing two microphones to be connected for multi-speaker coverage and smooth transitions during panels, Q&A, or collaborative sessions.
- Does the DCN-FHH require phantom power? As a condenser microphone, it typically requires an appropriate power source provided by the host DCN system or an external preamp. Ensure phantom power or the necessary power supply is enabled in your audio chain per your system’s guidelines.
- What room conditions affect performance? While the built-in windscreen and plop filter reduce wind and plosive noise, ambient room noise, HVAC systems, and reverberation can still influence intelligibility. Optimal results come from good room acoustics, appropriate mic placement, and proper gain staging within the DCN system.
