The Earthworks FM500 is a professional podium microphone with a flexible gooseneck and sensitive cardioid capsule. As expected with Earthworks, the FM720 delivers pristine audio quality and accurate speech reproduction at up to 90 degrees off-axis. The microphone features a standard 3-pin XLR male base for easy installation into desk and podium flange mounts. The flexible gooseneck provides accurate, quiet microphone positioning. The incredible intelligibility and range make the Earthworks podium microphones a perfect choice for speech in conference rooms, lecture halls, houses-of-worship, auditoriums and more.
