Revolutionize your choral capture with the Earthworks FW730 FlexWand™ Integrated Cardioid Microphone System. Combining a high-definition 30kHz cardioid condenser microphone, a low-profile stand, and a sleek boom into a single freestanding unit, the FW730 offers an elegant, clutter-free miking solution for houses of worship, auditoriums, and concert halls without unsightly cables or obtrusive hardware cluttering the stage.
Why Choose the Earthworks FW730 FlexWand System?
Capturing a large ensemble traditionally requires multiple delicate overhead lines or bulky tripod stands that ruin stage aesthetics. The Earthworks FW730 streamlines stage setup while dramatically boosting audio quality. Featuring a near-perfect cardioid polar pattern with exceptional rear rejection, it isolates the choir from loud stage bleed (such as drums or backing orchestras), allowing fewer microphones to cover a broader area without "spotlighting" individual voices. The result is a natural, unified choral blend that sounds cohesive and true to life.
Key Performance Features
- All-in-One Integrated Design: Seamlessly merges a 30kHz cardioid microphone, low-profile stand, and heavy-duty cast-iron base into a streamlined floor-standing unit.
- Near-Perfect Cardioid Polar Pattern: Delivers uniform frequency response on- and off-axis with up to 32dB of rear sound rejection, maximizing gain-before-feedback.
- Infinite Positioning Flexibility: Features a central flex section and a top mini-gooseneck, allowing the microphone head to adjust smoothly anywhere from 1.5 feet to 7 feet above the floor.
- Exceptional Transient Response: Wide 20Hz to 30kHz frequency response captures delicate overtones, vocal air, and full acoustic depth with absolute transparency.
- High SPL Handling: Safely handles up to 145 dB SPL, making it versatile enough for dynamic choral crescendos, orchestral instruments, or percussion.
- Clean, Low-Profile Aesthetics: Cable plugs directly into the base of the stand with zero visible wires above floor level, ensuring an elegant look for broadcast and live audiences.
