Audio-Technica ES945O/FM3 Omnidirectional Condenser Boundary Microphone 3-Pin RGB LED

The Audio-Technica ES945O/FM3 is a phantom-powered omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone designed for high-clarity conferencing, recording, and monitoring applications. This professional audio solution mounts unobtrusively into tabletops or panels, providing a low-profile footprint for demanding sound pickup environments.

Advanced Local Control and Status Monitoring

The ES945O/FM3 features an integrated capacitive touch switch that enables immediate local muting of the microphone. To provide clear visual feedback for users, the device includes a highly visible two-state RGB LED ring. This LED ring offers seven selectable colors plus an OFF setting to indicate the current mute status of the microphone.

Superior Audio Performance

Equipped with a low-profile condenser element, the ES945O/FM3 delivers a uniform omnidirectional polar pattern with a 360° acceptance angle. This ensures consistent audio pickup from any direction. The microphone also incorporates UniGuard RFI-shielding technology, which provides outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) to maintain signal integrity in environments with high wireless activity.

Rugged Construction and Mechanical Isolation

Designed for durability, the microphone features a rugged all-metal case and a two-layer steel mesh grille that protects the internal components. For installation, the ES945O/FM3 includes a pair of rubber isolators. These isolators provide mechanical dampening to minimize the transmission of vibrations from the mounting surface to the microphone element.

Technical Specifications and Compatibility

The ES945O/FM3 is a TAA-compliant and RoHS-compliant device that integrates seamlessly into professional audio systems.
