Audio-Technica's ES Microphones Featured at InfoComm 07
Audio-Technica (Booth 9022, Hall A) is exhibiting major advancements to its Engineered Sound wired microphone line. The entire Engineered Sound line has been revamped to offer complete immunity to RFI, thanks to UniGuard protection in every model. The new ES microphones are also fully RoHS-compliant--free from all substances specified in the EU directive on the reduction of hazardous substances (RoHS). The line offers more than 50 new models, for a truly comprehensive assortment of gooseneck, hanging, boundary, lavalier and handheld microphones.
In addition to RFI-immunity and RoHS compliance, new features include the innovative PivotPoint rotating connector on ES961 and ES961RC boundary microphones, superior off-axis rejection for improved gain before feedback, and an 80 Hz UniSteep filter for removal of unwanted low frequencies without affecting vocal quality. Four new interchangeable elements lend additional flexibility, with cardioid, hypercardioid and omnidirectional elements offered, as well as the MicroLine.
In a direct response to customer requests, Audio-Technica is now offering ES switched and unswitched goosenecks in six length options: six-inches, 12-inches, 15-inches, 18-inches, 21-inches and 24-inches. All of these new podium microphones offer UniGuard RFI-shielding technology. They feature easy-to-adjust, robust gooseneck designs (single for the six-inch, double for the other lengths) that resist inadvertent repositioning. Clear, high-output performance is assured by new interchangeable condenser elements available in four pickup patterns: cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional and MicroLine.
The latest Engineered Sound hanging microphones, designed for suspension over choirs, instrumental groups and theater stages, feature UniGuard RFI-shielding innovations and a low-profile design, available in black or white. Interchangeable capsules offer improved on-axis pickup.
The line also includes handheld and lavalier models. The ES973 hypercardioid condenser microphone offers smooth, accurate audio reproduction for handheld and fixed-mount applications. The microphone's special internal shock mounting eliminates virtually all handling and cable noise. The discreet-design ES943 cardioid condenser lavalier microphone offers maximum intelligibility and minimum visibility for quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup applications.
