ES945/LED & ES945SV/LED
Omnidirectional Condenser Boundary Microphones with
Mute Switch and LED Indicator
Installation and Operation
The ES945/LED requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation.
Output is low impedance (Lo-Z) balanced. The signal appears across Pins
2 and 3; Pin 1 is ground (shield). Output phase is “Pin 2 hot”— positive
acoustic pressure produces positive voltage at Pin 2.
The microphone should be installed on a at, unobstructed mounting
surface. The small-diameter capsule near the boundary eliminates phase
distortion and delivers clear, high-output performance.
To mount the microphone in a tabletop without the isolators, a 20.5 mm
(13⁄16") diameter hole is required. To mount the microphone with the
isolators, a 23.5 mm (15⁄16") hole is required. Place the isolators on either
side of the hole to achieve mechanical isolation from the mounting surface.
The capacitive-type touch-sensitive switch enables muting functionality:
press to mute, press again to un-mute. The LED indicator ring lights green
Features
• Mounts unobtrusively in tabletops
• Low-prole element provides uniform omnidirectional polar
pattern with 360º acceptance angle
• UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection
of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for external power
module
• Rugged all-metal case with a two-layer steel mesh grille
• Capacitive-type touch-sensitive switch allows users to easily
mute/un-mute the microphone
• Integral LED ring indicates mute status—green when mic
is live, red when muted
• Isolators provide mechanical dampening of mounting-surface
vibration
• Available in two colors: black (ES945/LED) and silver
(ES945SV/LED)
when the microphone is live and lights red when the microphone is muted.
Avoid leaving the microphone in the open sun or in areas where
temperatures exceed 110° F (43° C) for long periods of time. Extremely
high humidity should also be avoided.
engineered sound® microphones
Description
The ES945/LED is a wide-range condenser microphone with an
omnidirectional polar pattern. It is designed for unobtrusive tablemounted use in high-quality sound reinforcement, conferencing,
professional recording, television and other demanding sound pickup
applications.
The microphone features a capacitive-type touch-sensitive switch that
toggles between on/mute and a Red/Green LED indicator ring that
displays mute status.
The microphone requires 11V to 52V phantom power for operation.
The microphone is equipped with UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology,
which offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI).
The output of the microphone is a 3-pin XLRM-type connector.
Isolators are included with the microphone for optional mechanical
isolation from the mounting surface. The microphone is enclosed in a
heavy-duty die-cast case and is protected by a two-layer steel mesh
grille. The low-prole housing has a low-reectance black nish. The
microphone is also available in silver as the ES945SV/LED.
