Earthworks C30/C-B Hanging Gooseneck Choir Microphone, Black

Choir microphones have always presented a unique design and installation challenge - the traditional solution is to use an angle guide on the microphone's lead to aim towards the performance venue. The problem with this approach is that either a very minimal microphone had to be used to keep aimable weight within practical limits - or locate the microphone's electronics at some considerable distance from the element - inviting losses, noise, etc.

Earthwork Audio's ChoirMics overcome these issues by locating the element on a short flexible extension from the microphone's body - resulting in excellent response and extremely low noise - while retaining the ability to aim the element at the precise point desired.

The standard cardioid pattern provides satisfactory coverage and feedback resistance for most installations; however the hypercardioid pattern is available for those installations where a tighter pickup pattern is desired for better isolating performers, or in those installations where particularly aggressive stage monitors would otherwise present a problem.
