The Audio-Technica ES925/DS5 Condenser Gooseneck Mic with 5-Pin Desk Stand Power Module is a modular microphone system designed for professional sound reinforcement and commercial sound applications. This versatile system consists of three main interchangeable components: a condenser microphone element, a flexible gooseneck, and a heavy-duty desk stand power module. This modular architecture allows users to customize the build by mixing and matching different power modules, gooseneck lengths, and polar patterns to meet specific installation requirements.
The DS5 desk stand power module features a touch-sensitive capacitive-type user switch that provides local and remote switching options. The local switch operates in three distinct modes: touch-on/touch-off, touch-to-talk, and touch-to-mute. The integrated logic I/O capability allows the unit's external contact closure to trigger remote devices, such as cameras or lighting systems, directly from the microphone switch. For clear visual confirmation, both the desk stand and the microphone element housing include a highly visible, two-state RGB LED status indicator.
This microphone system utilizes UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology to provide outstanding immunity against radio frequency interference. The condenser microphone elements deliver full-range, natural sound with superior off-axis rejection, ensuring maximum gain before feedback. To maintain vocal clarity in challenging acoustic environments, the integral UniSteep® filter provides steep low-frequency attenuation. This filter improves sound pickup by reducing unwanted ambient noise without affecting the natural reproduction of the user's voice.
The ES925/DS5 features a small-diameter gooseneck design that allows for highly flexible positioning while maintaining a professional, low-profile appearance. The desk stand power module is built with heavy die-cast construction and includes no-slip bottom pads. These features work together to minimize the coupling of surface vibrations to the microphone element. Additionally, the system includes a foam windscreen to protect against plosives and is TAA-compliant for government and commercial procurement needs.
