Three-Element Multidirectional Boundary Microphone
ES963
ES963
Features
- Three cardioid condenser elements mounted in a single housing
- Easily reposition two elements (via levers on the microphone base) to offer 360° or 300° coverage; each element can be powered and used individually or in any combination
- Also functions as a stereo boundary microphone
- Provides full, efficient and flexible coverage—fewer microphones required
- Small-diameter capsules near boundary eliminate phase distortion and deliver clear, high-output performance
- Low-frequency attenuation improves sound pickup without affecting voice quality
- Cable routes through any of four recessed pathways on the microphone base (or down for direct feed through a table surface); no tools or disassembly required
- UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
- Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pad minimizes coupling of surface vibration to the microphone
- Low-profile design with low-reflectance finish for minimum visibility

Notes | Three cardioid condenser elements mounted in the microphone housing are factory set with an angle of 120° between them to provide complete 360° coverage. Two positioning levers on the microphone base allow two of the three elements to be reoriented (with no tools or disassembly required) to offer angles of 90°/90°/180° between elements for 300° coverage. |
