Earthworks FMR500 FlexMic Rigid 19" Cardioid Podium Microphone

Combine architectural discretion with pristine speech intelligibility and remote control convenience using the Earthworks FMR500 19-Inch Cardioid FlexMic™ Podium Microphone with Ring Switch. Engineered for government assemblies, corporate boardrooms, high-end houses of worship, and institutional auditoriums, this professional gooseneck microphone features an integrated programmable capacitive touch switch and a multi-color LED indicator for seamless system integration.

Why Choose the Earthworks FMR500 Podium Microphone?

Public speaking and conferencing installations often require live control over microphone muting directly at the podium without introducing mechanical clicks or handling noise. The Earthworks FMR500 meets this challenge by integrating a silent, touch-sensitive ring switch right into its professional architecture. Paired with a true cardioid polar pattern and a speech-optimized frequency response, speakers can move naturally while enjoying uniform tone, high gain-before-feedback, and complete tactile control over their audio feed.

Key Performance Features

• Integrated Capacitive Ring Switch: Features a silent, programmable touch switch on the capsule housing allowing users to easily toggle mute or talk states without generating mechanical thumps.
• Multi-Color LED Status Indicator: Provides clear visual feedback (such as active/mute states) to both the speaker and the audio mixing engineer.
• 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 pickup pattern combined with exceptional attenuation of sounds from the rear, maximizing gain-before-feedback in complex acoustic spaces.
• Extended 19-Inch Flexible Gooseneck: The 19-inch (475mm) fully adjustable structure allows precise, noiseless capsule positioning for speakers of varying heights.
• Advanced RFI Shielding: Built with strict resistance against radio frequency interference from smartphones, Wi-Fi networks, and digital communication devices.
