Audio-Technica Next Generation ES945 & ES947 Boundary Microphone Variations
Audio-Technica has introduced several new variations of its ES945 omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone and ES947 cardioid condenser boundary microphone , which it says were developed as a response to market feedback . All models are intended for surface flush-mount installation and include Audio-Technica ’ s UniGuard RFI-shielding for immunity from radio frequency interference .
First , the existing standard ES945 and ES947 models are being replaced by the ES945O / XLR ( omnidirectional ) and ES947C / XLR ( cardioid ), which feature upgraded functionality including IPX4 water resistance . The mics are designed for surface-mount applications such as conferencing , recording , monitoring , and other sound pickup applications .
Second , there are new miniature , space-saving variations called the ES945O / TB3 and ES947C / TB3 . These mics are suitable for the same applications as the ES945O / XLR and ES947C / XLR , but the ultra-compact design enables extra-inconspicuous tabletop , ceiling , and wall mounting .
Third , the existing ES945 / LED and ES947 / LED ( models intended specifically for conferencing ) are being replaced and upgraded by the ES945O / FM3 and ES947C / FM3 . These mics feature a highly-visible two-state RGB LED ring ( seven selectable colours plus Off ) to indicate mute status and a touch-sensitive capacitive user switch that enables local muting , making them ideal for conferencing applications .
