Earthworks FM360 FlexMic Cardioid Podium Microphone

The FlexMic™ 13 inch podium microphone features a flexible gooseneck with rigid center and comes equipped with a cardioid polar pattern. A metal mesh windscreen coupled with layers of foam prevent the loud pop inducing bursts of stop consonants from reaching the microphone. For outdoor events, an additional foam windscreen accessory (FMW2) is available to help eliminate noise from high mph winds. Orators will be highly intelligible and you will have more gain before feedback.

Earthworks Flex Series microphones offer exceptional intelligibility and sound quality. Their patented pick-up pattern allows an speaker to move up to 90 degrees off-axis and still be heard with exceptional intelligibility and sound quality. This is a real advantage for church, civic and corporate podium speech applications. As an added plus, the Flex Mics smooth off-axis response will provide more gain before feedback. The flexible neck allows adjustment of microphone positioning with no handling noise.

Flex Mics are intended for podium use, however they can also be used as hanging choir or orchestra microphones. Their sound quality is comparable to our other high quality cardioids for a variety of applications such as vocals, piano, acoustic instruments and even drums. They are flat from 50Hz to 20kHz within + 2dB at 6 inches and will handle up to 145dB SPL. In addition to smooth frequency response (on and off-axis), they have impressive impulse response, diaphragm settling time and pristine sound quality that is not usually available in podium microphones. Earthworks Flex Mics provide high intelligibility for clear audible communication.
