Omnidirectional fixed charge condenser boundary microphone
Product Description
Engineered Sound microphones have been the first choice of leading contractors and system integrators at the highest level of broadcast and installation.
Includes UniGuard™ RFI immunity protecting the microphones from any RF interference from mobile phone beeps to laptop buzzes. The discreet size and look of the engineered sound microphone means the best quality of sound is available with the least visibility. Includes gooseneck microphones with interchangeable capsules, ultra low profile boundary, hanging, lavalier clip-on and handheld microphones.
This low-profile omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone ES945 is designed for clear, highly intelligible sound reinforcement, professional recording and teleconferencing in table-, ceiling-, or panel-mount applications. The microphone is equipped with a self-contained power module with an XLRM-type output connector, eliminating the need for an external power module. The microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference thanks to Audio-Technica's UniGuard® innovations.
Protected by a rugged all-metal case with a two-layer steel mesh grille, the microphone has a 360º pickup angle, and is available in two colors: black (ES945) and white (ES945W).
