Looking for low-profile, high-definition choir and vocal group reinforcement with precise directional isolation? The Earthworks FW730/HC FlexWand is an integrated 7-foot hypercardioid microphone and boom stand system designed specifically for churches, concert halls, and live stage productions.
Achieve ultimate stage isolation, flawless gain-before-feedback, and an ultra-clean stage aesthetic with the Earthworks FW730/HC High-Definition Hypercardioid FlexWand Microphone System. Combining a 30kHz high-definition condenser capsule, a flexible 7-foot integrated stand, and a heavy-duty cast-iron base into a single freestanding unit, this all-in-one system eliminates the clutter of traditional mic stands and cables while delivering breathtaking choral and acoustic accuracy.
Why Choose the Earthworks FW730/HC?
Miking large ensembles, choirs, or orchestras on loud stages often introduces severe phase issues, background bleed, and feedback risks. The Earthworks FW730/HC solves these challenges through a tight hypercardioid polar pattern that provides massive rear attenuation and exceptional isolation from surrounding stage instruments like drums or amplifiers. Featuring a unique flexible mid-section and a top mini-gooseneck, it allows for infinite positioning between 1.5 and 7 feet, ensuring your ensemble blends together naturally as a single unified voice without spotlighting individual performers.
Key Performance Features
- All-in-One Integrated Stand System: Seamlessly merges a 30kHz high-definition condenser microphone, a height-adjustable floor stand, and a stable cast-iron base into a single sleek unit.
- Tight Hypercardioid Directivity: Delivers exceptional rear and side rejection, aggressively blocking stage wash and maximizing gain-before-feedback on loud stages.
- Extended 20Hz to 30kHz Frequency Response: Captures delicate vocal overtones, complex harmonies, and airy acoustic details with absolute time-domain transparency.
- Infinite Positioning Flexibility: Features a central flex coupling and a top mini-gooseneck, allowing the microphone head to be precisely aimed anywhere from 1.5 to 7 feet above the floor.
- High SPL Handling: Safely manages up to 139 dB SPL, easily accommodating powerful choral crescendos and dynamic instruments without distortion.
- Hidden Cable Design: Features internal wiring running directly down through the stand to an XLR connection in the base, leaving zero unsightly cables visible above floor level.
