ES947 Cardioid Condenser Boundary Microphone with 5-Pin XLR

The Audio-Technica ES947C/FM5 is a precision cardioid condenser boundary microphone engineered for permanent flush-mount installation in conferencing, courtroom, boardroom, and house of worship applications. Its low-profile design sits virtually flat against the mounting surface, delivering unobtrusive yet highly intelligible audio capture.

Featuring a cardioid polar pattern, the ES947 provides focused pickup with excellent off-axis rejection, minimising ambient noise and reducing the potential for feedback in demanding installed sound environments. The condenser element delivers a wide, smooth frequency response that ensures natural, articulate speech reproduction across the full vocal range.

- Cardioid polar pattern for focused pickup and superior feedback rejection
- Flush-mount design with 5-pin XLR output for clean, permanent installations
- UniGuard⢠RFI shielding to prevent interference from wireless devices and digital electronics
- Programmable mute switch with LED status indicator for intuitive operator control
- Phantom powered (11–52V DC) for seamless integration with standard mixing consoles and DSP systems
- Low-profile housing ideal for tabletop and surface-mount applications

The 5-pin XLR connection carries both the balanced audio signal and LED control data, simplifying wiring for integrators and installers. Whether deployed in a single-mic huddle space or as part of a multi-microphone conference system, the ES947C/FM5 delivers the reliability and audio quality that professional AV installations demand.
