Whether you're a pro speaker or just starting out, the Earthworks FlexMic microphone is your ideal choice. Optimized for speech, it offers a frequency response up to 20kHz and great phase response, ensuring top - notch speech clarity. Its near - perfect polar response gives speakers wide coverage and freedom to move. With 32dB of rear rejection, it provides more gain before feedback and blocks out unwanted noise. Available in 13, 19, 23, and 27 - inch lengths, with flexible or rigid center goosenecks. You can choose between cardioid and hypercardioid patterns. A metal mesh windscreen and foam layers prevent loud pops from stop consonants. For outdoor events, an extra foam windscreen (FMW2) can reduce high - wind noise. The optional PMM1 permanent mount accessory is sold separately.

Using the Earthworks FMR500/HC microphone is easy. First, make sure to connect it to a power source that meets the 24 - 48V Phantom power requirement. Then, plug the XLR output into your audio system. When speaking, you can move around freely thanks to its great polar response. If you're in an outdoor area with high - speed winds, attach the FMW2 foam windscreen to reduce noise. For a more permanent setup, you can use the optional PMM1 permanent mount accessory.
When it comes to maintenance, keep the microphone clean. You can gently wipe the metal mesh windscreen and the body with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you notice any issues with the sound quality, check the connections and power supply first. Remember, this microphone is designed for speech, so use it in scenarios where clear communication is needed, like presentations or public speaking events.
