Earthworks FM500 FlexMic 19" Cardioid Podium Microphone

Ensure absolute speech intelligibility, exceptional articulation, and pristine audio coverage across any large stage or executive boardroom with the Earthworks FM500 19-Inch Cardioid FlexMic™ Podium Microphone. Part of Earthworks' acclaimed FlexMic series, this professional gooseneck microphone is meticulously engineered for government assemblies, corporate lecture halls, houses of worship, and institutional auditoriums requiring uncompromised voice reproduction.

Why Choose the Earthworks FM500 Podium Microphone?

Public speaking installations often suffer from off-axis tonal shifts, handling thumps, or feedback vulnerabilities when speakers move or project dynamically. The Earthworks FM500 addresses these challenges by combining a true cardioid polar pattern with a smooth, flat frequency response optimized specifically for the human voice. Orators can speak naturally—moving side to side or varying their distance—while maintaining uniform tone and extreme clarity without volume drops, phase anomalies, or rear-axis spill.

Key Performance Features

• Speech-Optimized Frequency Response: Delivers a smooth, highly accurate response from 50Hz to 20kHz ($\pm 2$ dB at 6 inches) with a natural low-frequency roll-off that eliminates table vibrations and proximity effect.
• Uniform Cardioid Directivity: Provides a wide, forgiving pickup pattern paired with exceptional attenuation of sounds from the rear, maximizing gain-before-feedback in complex acoustic environments.
• Extended 19-Inch Flexible Gooseneck: The 19-inch (475mm) fully adjustable structure allows precise, noiseless capsule positioning for speakers of varying heights.
• High SPL Handling: Safely manages up to 145 dB SPL, making it impossible to overload even when forceful orators project directly into the capsule.
• Advanced RFI Shielding: Built with strict resistance against radio frequency interference from smartphones, Wi-Fi networks, and digital communication devices.
• Zero Handling Noise: Engineered internal isolation ensures physical adjustments or bumps to the podium translate to absolute silence.
