Overview
With its low-profile design that mounts unobtrusively in tabletops, ceilings or panels for minimum visibility, the ES947C/XLR cardioid condenser boundary microphone provides clear, highly intelligible audio that is perfect for conferencing, recording, monitoring and other demanding sound pickup applications.
Protected by a rugged all-metal case with a two-layer perforated grille, the microphone’s cardioid polar pattern affords a 120° pickup angle, while its UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology provides outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI). The microphone also offers IPX4 water resistance to protect it from splashes of water, and has a small front-of-mic indicator to ensure proper orientation.
The ES947C/XLR is equipped with a self-contained power module with an XLRM-type output connector, eliminating the need for an external power module. It is available in black (ES947C/XLR) and white (ES947WC/XLR), and comes with a pair of rubber isolators for optional mechanical isolation from the mounting surface.
