Audio-Technica ES915H18 Mic
ES915H18Equipped with Audio-Technica’s legendary electro-acoustic design innovations, the ES915H18 is ideal for applications where quality sound and flexible performance are imperative.
This small-diameter gooseneck microphone provides highly flexible positioning while maintaining a well-contoured appearance. The microphone offers unsurpassed immunity from radio frequency interference thanks to UniGuard® innovations. The ES915H18 also offers an 80 Hz low-cut UniSteep® filter that reduces pickup of low-frequency ambient noise.
The microphone’s low-profile element provides a uniform hypercardioid polar pattern with 100º acceptance angle. The microphone can be mounted on a podium or desktop with the included AT8474 low-profile isolation mount, which attenuates noise, shock and vibration transmitted through the mounting surface.
