Earthworks FMR500 19" Hypercardioid Podium Microphone with Rigid Center & Flex on Both Ends, 20hz-20khz Frequency Response, 65 Ohms Output Impedance

The Earthworks FMR500 19" Hypercardioid Podium Microphone shall be a back-electret condenser type with a wide-range uniform frequency response of 20 Hz to 20 kHz, +/-2 dB. The microphone shall have an output level of 10 mV/ Pa. The microphone shall be of a single capsule, single membrane design. The microphone shall have an impulse response with the rise time no longer than 25 microseconds and total settling time, including the rise time, no longer then 120 microseconds. The microphone shall have polar characteristics uniform in all planes to form hypercardioid of revolution.

Response at any angular position up to 90deg. away from the major axis within frequency range from 500 Hz to 16 kHz shall deviate by no more than +/-3 dB from the ideal hypercardioid pattern as described by the following equation, SPL(a)=20Log(1/2+cos(a)/2) (dB), where a is the angle in radians between the measurement source position axis and the major axis.

The microphone shall accept sound pressure levels up to 145 dB producing no more than 3% THD. Gooseneck will have a rigid center section with flexible gooseneck at both ends. Overall length above the XLR connector shall be 18.2" (46.22cm) long for FMR500. The maximum head diameter shall be 1.0"(2.54cm). The microphone shall be terminated with a professional gold-plated 3 pin XLR connector. The microphone shall include an external windscreen. The microphone shall require 48V phantom power. The microphone shall be made of metal with black finish. The microphone shall have its entire flexible portion encased in black vinyl.
