Audio Technica ES947C/FM5 Boundary Microphone

Product Description

The AUDIO TECHNICA ES947C/FM5 is a boundary microphone designed for surface-mount installation on conference tables, podiums, and flat mounting surfaces. Boundary microphones use the reflective properties of the mounting surface to capture sound with a wide, consistent pickup pattern. This makes the ES947C/FM5 well-suited for professional audio capture in meeting rooms, boardrooms, and presentation spaces. It ships as a single unit and falls within the category of surface-mount wired microphones. Installation and setup are typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or audio systems technician.

The ES947C/FM5 is intended for permanent or semi-permanent table-mount installations in commercial and professional environments. Its surface-mount wired design makes it appropriate for conference rooms, courtrooms, houses of worship, and similar venues where discreet, table-level microphone placement is required. The unit is sold individually, making it suitable for single-position installations or as part of a multi-microphone array.

Installation Notes

Installation of boundary microphones is typically performed by a licensed AV integrator or audio systems technician familiar with commercial sound reinforcement. Power down the mixing console or preamplifier and disable phantom power before connecting or disconnecting the microphone. Secure cable routing beneath the table surface to avoid strain on the connector. Consult local building and AV system codes for requirements related to in-wall or in-table cable runs.
