Microphone and stand

The microphone and stand is a miscellaneous item in Fallout: New Vegas.

Characteristics
The microphone and stand is, as the name indicates, a microphone mounted to a weighted-base microphone stand. The microphone itself is an old-style microphone, similar to the Shure Unidyne series microphones, which are icons of mid-20th-century radio and television broadcasting.

Despite the design of the stand being weighted at the bottom, this item has a weight of 0 if examined in inventory.

Because the microphone and atand has no defined physical boundaries, it cannot be grabbed or picked up without the use of console commands.

Locations
A total of seven microphone and stand sets appear in the game, in three locations:
 * One is found on the theater stage in the Atomic Wrangler casino
 * One is found on stage at the Aces Theater located inside The Tops casino.
 * Five can be found on the stage where President Aaron Kimball gives his speech at the Hoover Dam. All five only appear once the quests have started for either You'll Know It When It Happens or Arizona Killer.

Bugs
The Microphone and Stand is tied to the same script as the marked cards item associated with Keith. Because of this, picking up any Microphone and Stand will trigger the same actions as if the player had located Keith's marked cards, giving the player a note to speak to Captain Parker and opening all relevant dialogue options.
