Audio-Technica has announced the ES945O/XLR omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone and ES947C/XLR cardioid condenser boundary microphone, replacing the ES945 and ES947.
The ES945O/XLR and ES947C/XLR add IPX4 water resistance, protecting the microphones from splashes of water for conferencing and monitoring in a wide range of applications.
With their low-profile design that mounts unobtrusively in tabletops, ceilings or panels for minimum visibility, the ES945O/XLR omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone and ES947C/XLR cardioid condenser boundary microphone provide clear, highly intelligible audio for conferencing, recording, monitoring and other demanding sound pickup applications.
Protected by a rugged all-metal case with a two-layer perforated grille, the microphones feature polar patterns afford a 360° pickup angle (ES945O/XLR) and 120° pickup angle (ES947C/XLR), respectively, while proprietary UniGuard RFI-shielding technology provides outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI). Additionally, the ES947C/XLR and has a small front-of-mic indicator to ensure proper orientation for maximum pickup.
The ES945O/XLR and ES947C/XLR are equipped with a self-contained power module with an XLRM-type output connector, eliminating the need for an external power module. They are available in black (ES945O/XLR and ES947C/XLR) and white (ES945WO/XLR and ES947WC/XLR), and come with a pair of rubber isolators for mechanical isolation from the mounting surface.
Key features:
- Uniform polar pattern.
- 360° pickup angle (ES945O/XLR).
- 120° pickup angle (ES947C/XLR).
- IPX4 water resistance.
