Bosch DICENTIS DCNM-MICSC Short Stem Cardioid Microphone
The DICENTIS DCNM-MICSC is a stylish, ergonomically designed conference microphone on a 310 mm adjustable stem. Its cardioid (unidirectional) pickup focuses on the speaker's voice and rejects surrounding sound, giving clear speech even in noisy conditions or acoustically challenging rooms such as parliaments, council chambers and large boardrooms.
A built-in pop and windshield reduces breath noise and plosives. It has low susceptibility to mobile phone interference, so meetings stay free of buzzing and clicks. A red and green illuminator shows participants when their microphone is live or their request to speak has been accepted, and a screw-locked 12-pin connector keeps it securely fixed to the DCNM-MMFF or MMDOCK.

Know before you buy
Quick answers about the DCNM-MICSC, and how it compares.
Where is the DCNM-MICSC used?
On the DICENTIS DCNM-MMFF and DCNM-MMDOCK, where a 12-pin screw lock holds it firmly in place. The 310 mm stem suits participants seated close to the desk, and the cardioid pattern focuses on the speaker and rejects room noise.
Cardioid or wide cardioid?
A cardioid microphone (DCNM-MICSC, DCNM-MICLC) picks up a tighter area in front of it, so it rejects more room noise. Choose it for noisy rooms or seats close together.
A wide cardioid microphone (DCNM-MICSWC, DCNM-MICLWC) covers a wider angle, so speakers can turn their head or shift in their seat and still be heard clearly. It also takes louder voices (120 vs 115 dB SPL), with slightly higher self-noise (20 vs 15 dB SPL).
Short or long stem: which one should I choose?
| Type | Short stem, 310 mm | Long stem, 480 mm |
|---|---|---|
| Click lock, tabletop and Wireless | DCNM-MICS | DCNM-MICL |
| Screw lock, flush seats | DCNM-MICSLS | DCNM-MICSLL |
| Screw lock, cardioid | DCNM-MICSC | DCNM-MICLC |
| Screw lock, wide cardioid | DCNM-MICSWC | DCNM-MICLWC |
In each pair only the stem differs, the sound is the same. The short stem suits participants seated close to the desk and keeps sightlines clear. The long stem reaches people who sit further back or stand to speak.
DCNM-MICSC or DCNM-MICS?
They fit different equipment. The DCNM-MICS has a click-lock plug for tabletop and Wireless DICENTIS devices. The DCNM-MICSC has a 12-pin screw lock for the DCNM-MMFF and MMDOCK. Choose by the equipment you are installing.
Which DICENTIS microphone fits which device?
| Microphone | Plug | Works with |
|---|---|---|
| DCNM-MICS / DCNM-MICL | Click lock | Tabletop DCNM-D, DE, DVT, DSL, DCNM-IDESK, IDESKVID, and Wireless DCNM-WD / WDE |
| DCNM-HDMIC | Click lock | Tabletop DCNM-D, DE, DVT, DSL, and Wireless DCNM-WD / WDE |
| DCNM-MICSLS / DCNM-MICSLL | Screw lock | Flush seats: DCNM-FBD2, through the DCNM-FMCP panel |
| DCNM-MICSC / DCNM-MICLC cardioid DCNM-MICSWC / DCNM-MICLWC wide cardioid | Screw lock, 12-pin | DCNM-MMFF and DCNM-MMDOCK |
| DCNM-FHH / DCNM-FHHC handheld | 5 m cable | Flush seats: DCNM-FBD2, through the DCNM-FAI audio interface |
The click-lock and screw-lock plugs are different, so a microphone only fits the devices in its row. Send us your device list and we will match the microphones.
Why choose a screw-lock microphone?
A knurled ring screws the microphone onto its panel by hand, with no tools. Once tightened it cannot be pulled out or knocked loose, which suits permanent installations such as council chambers, parliaments and public meeting rooms. To remove it, unscrew the ring and lift the microphone straight out.
Will it work in a noisy or echoey room?
Yes. Bosch designed the DICENTIS stem microphones for acoustically challenging rooms: the directional pickup focuses on the speaker, the built-in plop and windshield cuts breath noise, and they have low susceptibility to mobile phones, so no buzzing when a phone is on the desk.
What do the red and green lights mean?
The light on the microphone head shows your status: red means the microphone is on and you are live; green means your request to speak has been accepted and you are next.
