ES915SC Cardioid Condenser Gooseneck Microphone with Mute Switch/LED

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 ES915SC is a wide-range miniature condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern and a mute switch/LED. 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 ES915SC also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise. A mute switch in the base lights when the mic is “on.” 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

Small-diameter, alternating gooseneck design permits highly flexible positioning

Superior off-axis rejection for maximum gain before feedback

Requires 11V to 52V DC phantom power

UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)

Integral UniSteep® filter provides a steep low-frequency attenuation to improve sound pickup without affecting voice quality

RoHS compliant—free from all substances specified in the EU directive on hazardous substances
