Overview | ES947C/FM5

This phantom-powered cardioid condenser boundary microphone features a 5-pin XLR output connector with a touch-sensitive capacitive-type user switch for enhanced control in conference and boardroom installations. Not only can the switch be configured to toggle between mute and live audio, but, with the microphone's external contact closure, it can also be set up to trigger an external device, such as a camera or the room's lighting.

Designed for clear, highly intelligible conferencing, recording, monitoring and other demanding sound pickup applications, the ES947C/FM5 mounts unobtrusively in tabletops or panels, but includes a highly visible two-state RGB LED ring (7 selectable colors + OFF) to keep users apprised of the status.

The microphone's cardioid polar pattern provides a 120° pickup angle. A rugged all-metal case with a two-layer steel mesh grille protects the microphone element, while our UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology provides outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI).

The ES947C/FM5 is equipped with a self-contained power module, eliminating the need for an external one, and comes with a pair of rubber isolators for optional mechanical isolation from the mounting surface.
