To significantly reduce background noise and feedback, the PM-660U features a cardioid pick-up pattern that is uniform over the entire frequency range. The dynamic microphone element has a 600 ohm balanced output and the microphone is supplied with an attached 8.2', four-conductor cable with stripped wire ends. Two conductors are shielded and are dedicated for the microphone signal. The other two unshielded conductors connect to an auxiliary, normally-open switch contact, used to activate external muting, priority or relay control circuits. The auxiliary switch contact is closed by using the push-to-talk bar, which also turns on the microphone by opening a second set of contacts that normally short the mic element. A locking lever is provided to keep the push-to-talk bar in the "on" position when the microphone must be kept open for an extended period.

A wire mesh grille protects the mic element and incorporates an internal wind screen to reduce popping noises from speech. Ideal for desktop or shelf mounting, the integral microphone stand/base is fitted with four, rubber isolated feet to reduce mechanical noise pick-up. Constructed of high impact ABS resin, the microphone is finished in a neutral dark gray with a prominent, orange push-to-talk button.
