Earthworks IM10 10" Gooseneck Cardioid Microphone, Silver

The Earthworks IM Series High Definition Microphones provide astounding audio quality for fixed installations. The IM Series can be custom mounted in a ceiling, wall or table and will provide the ultimate in sound quality, flexibility and ease of installation. The IM microphone's uniquely designed small head and flexible mini-gooseneck allow it to be easily and precisely positioned. The IM Series near-perfect polar response will not beam or spotlight and will provide very high intelligibility. The frequency response of both the cardioid or hypercardioid at 90 degrees off-axis is within 2dB of the on-axis response (over its operating frequency range). This overall uniform frequency response of the hypercardioid is at least 5dB down at 90 degrees off-axis. This exceptional polar response allows the use of fewer microphones, while obtaining higher intelligibility and more gain before feedback. Near-Perfect Polar Response David Blackmer invented a number of new microphone technologies resulting in a totally new approach to microphone design. One such technology resulted in the creation of near-perfect polar patterns. When you look at a polar pattern of an Earthworks microphone, the mid-frequencies, high-frequencies and low-frequencies all look very close to a "textbook" polar pattern. In practice this means the polar response of an Earthworks microphone is extremely uniform over its operating frequency range; the frequency response at 90 degrees off-axis is very close to the on-axis response. This uniform polar response results in less phase problems and much higher intelligibility at the sides of the microphone. IM Series Installation Microphones The IM Series provides a low profile, pristine sounding microphone solution for permanent installations. Featuring a flat frequency response and patented polar technology, orators will maintain the same intelligibility throughout the room without a reduction of sound level or loss of high frequencies, while obtaining more gain before feedback. The IM Series installation microphones provide a 30Hz to 30kHz frequency response, near-perfect polar response with pristine audio in an attractive low-profile package with options of 3, 6, 10 or 12 inch mini-goosenecks in black, white or silver.• High Definition Microphones for Conference Rooms and Fixed Sound Installations• Near-perfect Polar Response (uniform frequency response at 0deg., 45deg. & 90deg.) • Can be Mounted in Wall, Ceiling or Conference Tables (includes lock nut) • High Rejections of Sounds from the Rear of the Microphone • Very High Intelligibility • More Gain Before Feedback • 30Hz to 30kHz Frequency Response • Very Easy to Position via Minigooseneck • 145dB Max Acoustic Input • Requires 48V Phantom Power • Available in Black, White or Silver
