Audio-Technica ES905CL

Yes, this microphone is a condenser model and requires phantom power between 11V and 52V DC to operate. It is designed to be powered directly through your mixing console or microphone preamp.

The rigid-pipe design is paired with a ball-in-socket base, allowing you to precisely angle the microphone toward the speaker while maintaining a clean, professional look on a podium or desk. It is built to stay exactly where you position it, making it ideal for permanent installations.

The ES905CL includes an integrated UniSteep® 80 Hz low-cut filter, which is specifically designed to roll off low-frequency ambient noise like HVAC rumble. While it helps clean up the signal, the cardioid polar pattern also assists by focusing primarily on the sound source directly in front of the mic.

Yes, it features Audio-Technica's UniGuard® technology, which provides superior immunity to radio frequency interference. This makes it a reliable choice for professional settings where cell phones, Wi-Fi, and other wireless equipment are frequently used.

While it is technically capable of capturing audio, the ES905CL is engineered specifically for speech reinforcement in contractor and conferencing applications. Its frequency response and physical design are optimized for clarity in spoken word rather than the nuances of musical performance.

Yes, it includes an attached windscreen that features internal pop protection. This helps minimize harsh 'p' and 'b' sounds, ensuring clear speech without needing an external foam cover.
