Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone
Product Description
Equipped with Audio-Technica's legendary electro-acoustic design innovations, the ES915C is ideal for applications where quality sound and flexible performance are imperative. This small-diameter gooseneck microphone provides highly flexible positioning while maintaining a well-contoured appearance. The microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference thanks to UniGuard innovations. The ES915C also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. The microphone's low-profile element provides a uniform cardioid polar pattern with 120º acceptance angle. The microphone can be mounted on a podium or desktop with the included AT8474 low-profile isolation mount, which attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface.
