No. There's a small black click that connects just below the whistle on the lanyard. You have to buy this specially made smitty or regular lanyard to get the clip. It won't work if the mic is too far away from the whistle.
People say it's the sound of the Fox 40 that the mic responds to but it isn't. To test PT prior to the game, we just blow into the mic to see that it will stop the clock. The Fox 40 works with the mic because the air exits the bottom of your whistle, which is why the mic mounts just below the whistle. It's not the "distinctive Fox 40 sound."
