Audio-Technica ES947C/FM3 Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone 3-Pin RGB LED

The Audio-Technica ES947C/FM3 Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone provides a professional solution for clear, intelligible sound pickup in conferencing, recording, and monitoring applications. This phantom-powered microphone mounts unobtrusively into tabletops or panels, offering high-performance audio capture for demanding environments.

Focused Audio Performance

The microphone features a low-profile element with a uniform cardioid polar pattern. This design provides a 120° acceptance angle to focus on the desired sound source while minimizing unwanted ambient noise. The unit requires 11V to 52V DC phantom power for operation.

Integrated Mute Control and Visual Indicators

An integrated capacitive touch switch enables local muting of the microphone. To provide immediate status feedback, the ES947C/FM3 includes a highly visible two-state RGB LED ring. Users can choose from seven selectable colors or an OFF mode to customize the mute status indication.

Durable Construction and RFI Shielding

Audio-Technica constructed the ES947C/FM3 with a rugged all-metal case and a two-layer steel mesh grille to protect the internal microphone element. The device incorporates UniGuard RFI-shielding technology, which provides outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI) to ensure clean signal transmission.

Streamlined Installation

The ES947C/FM3 includes a self-contained power module with a 3-pin XLR output connector, eliminating the requirement for an external power module. The package includes a pair of rubber isolators that provide mechanical dampening to reduce the transmission of mounting-surface vibrations to the microphone.

Standards and Compliance

This microphone meets TAA-compliance requirements for government and trade applications. It is also RoHS compliant, ensuring the product is free from hazardous substances specified in the EU directive.
