ES915C Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone

The new Engineered Sound. Contractor-exclusive innovations for every acoustical challenge. And safe haven from RFI.

Equipped with Audio-Technica’s legendary electro-acoustic design innovations, the ES915C is ideal for applications where quality sound and flexible performance are imperative. This small-diameter gooseneck microphone provides highly flexible positioning while maintaining a well-contoured appearance. The microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference thanks to UniGuard® innovations. The ES915C also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. The microphone’s low-profile element provides a uniform cardioid polar pattern with 120º acceptance angle. The microphone can be mounted on a podium or desktop with the included AT8474 low-profile isolation mount, which attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface.

Designed for quality sound reinforcement, professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup applications

Low-profile element provides uniform cardioid polar pattern with 120º acceptance angle

Plugs into any standard XLRF-type connector, or direct mounts to 5/8"-27 stands using included thread-mount adapter

Included low-profile isolation mount attenuates noise, shock and vibration

Available interchangeable elements permit angle of acceptance from 90º to 360º
