Real payphone handsets redesigned as dynamic microphones
Trash Talk takes real payphone handsets and redesigns them as dynamic microphones. Their mics deliver that iconic, gritty 'telephone' tone without plug-ins or post-processing. It's a tone that's pretty impossible not to love.
Trash Talk's Payphone mic's 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.
Each payphone mic is housed in nearly indestructible ABS plastic. The standard XLR connector makes setup seamless, whether you're running it into a mixer, interface, or hardware effects 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.
The Payphone mics come in a multitude of colours. They look as good as they sound, and the nostalgia factor of a payphone mic can't be overestimated! For you content creators, there's nothing like a Trash Talk Payphone mic to get scrollers to stop scrolling.
The price point is as sweet as they come, but the sound they produce? Priceless.
