Overview

A payphone mic for gritty, lo-fi tone with vintage vibes.

The Trash Talk Audio Payphone Mic brings gritty nostalgia to your studio or stage setup, repurposing real payphone handsets into functional, road-ready dynamic microphones. With a built-in cardioid capsule and a midrange-heavy frequency response (300Hz–3.4kHz), it captures the iconic "telephone voice" without the need for plug-ins or post-processing. Its unique voice adds immediate lo-fi character to vocals, instruments or reamped sources, giving producers and performers a creative edge that feels raw, honest and unmistakably vintage.

Built for Performance, Designed to Last

Each Payphone Mic is housed in rugged ABS plastic with a vandal-resistant build—true to its urban origins. The standard XLR connector makes setup seamless, whether you're running it into a mixer, interface or hardware FX unit. Its focused cardioid pickup pattern helps isolate the source, making it useful on loud stages or in noisy rehearsal spaces. Despite its unconventional form, the Payphone Mic delivers consistent results with minimal handling noise and zero gimmicks—just tough, tactile hardware designed to inspire unconventional creativity.

Creative Utility With Lifetime Support

Whether you're layering a second vocal track, adding grit to snare drum or dialing in a signature sound on guitar amps, the Payphone Mic gives your signal chain a distinct analog crunch. Each unit includes a mic clip for stand mounting and is backed by Trash Talk Audio’s free lifetime repair policy. With its plug-and-play simplicity, unmistakable aesthetic and reliable build quality, the Payphone Mic is more than a novelty—it’s a functional tool for artists looking to inject texture, attitude and lo-fi character into their recordings or performances.
