The Earthworks FMR600/HC Flex Hypercardioid Podium Microphone with a 23'' adjustable neck is a game - changer for public speaking. Using Earthworks' patented technologies, it offers high speech intelligibility and a uniform off - axis response. Whether the speaker is at the front or sides of the mic, clear sound without quality loss is guaranteed. This also provides more gain before feedback. With a max acoustic input of 145dB SPL, overloading is nearly impossible. It has high rejection of rear - end sounds, no handling noise, and excellent RFI rejection. Ideal for lecture halls, presentation spaces, churches, civic centers, theaters, and government facilities, this microphone has rigid center and flexible ends. It has a flat frequency response from 50Hz to 20kHz within + 2dB at 6 inches, can handle high sound pressure levels, and ensures the same great sound quality and high intelligibility no matter where the orator speaks relative to the mic.
Using the Earthworks FMR600/HC Flex Hypercardioid Podium Microphone is easy. First, make sure it's connected to a 48V Phantom power source that can supply 10mA. You can adjust the 23 - inch neck to the position that suits your speaking needs. When speaking, you can talk above, below, or to either side of the microphone and still get great sound. Just be aware that although it has high RFI rejection, try to keep it away from strong radio frequency sources. For maintenance, gently clean the microphone with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid getting it wet or using harsh chemicals. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a cool, dry place. And remember, with its high max acoustic input of 145dB SPL, you don't have to worry too much about overloading it, but don't subject it to extremely loud and sudden noises either.
