Description

Audio-Technica ES947C/XLR Cardioid Button Boundary Microphone is a low-profile condenser microphone designed for permanent surface-mount installations in conference rooms, meeting spaces, recording environments, and monitoring applications. Its compact form allows discreet placement in tabletops, ceilings, or panels while delivering clear and intelligible voice pickup.

The ES947C/XLR features a cardioid polar pattern with a 120-degree acceptance angle, focusing on sound from the front while reducing pickup of ambient noise from the sides and rear. This directional performance makes it ideal for conference tables, lecterns, and installations where controlled coverage and improved speech clarity are required.

Built with a rugged all-metal housing and dual-layer perforated grille, the microphone is engineered for durability in professional environments. UniGuard RFI shielding technology minimizes interference from wireless devices, ensuring stable and clean audio even in technology-dense rooms.

The microphone offers IPX4-rated water resistance to protect against accidental splashes. A small front-of-microphone indicator assists with correct orientation during installation for optimal performance. The self-contained power module with XLR output eliminates the need for external adapters, simplifying system integration.

Designed for operation with phantom power, the Audio-Technica ES947C/XLR boundary microphone provides reliable, unobtrusive audio capture for installed sound systems, conferencing solutions, and professional monitoring applications.
