With its low-profile design that mounts unobtrusively in tabletops for minimum visibility, the ES945/LED omnidirectional condenser boundary microphone provides clear, highly intelligible audio that is perfect for sound reinforcement, professional recording and teleconferencing, television and other demanding sound pickup applications. Protected by a rugged all-metal case with a two-layer steel mesh grille, the microphone's omnidirectional polar pattern affords a 360° pickup angle, while its UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology provides outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI). Users can easily toggle between mute and live audio thanks to the microphone's capacitive-type touch-sensitive switch. An integral Red/Green LED ring indicates the mute status, staying green when the microphone is live and turning red when it is muted. Additionally, the ES945/LED is equipped with a self-contained power module with an XLRM-type output connector, eliminating the need for an external power module. The microphone is available in two colors: black (ES945/LED) and silver (ES945SV/LED). A pair of isolators is included for optional mechanical isolation from the mounting surface.

When controlled by the ATDM-0604 Digital SmartMixer®, the four-capsule microphone array provides 360-degree coverage through virtual hypercardioid or cardioid outputs, which can be steered horizontally and tilted vertically. The intuitive graphic interface of the ATDM-0604 enables control of the width and orientation of each virtual polar pattern, which may be steered in 30-degree increments, with a tilt function accommodating differing ceiling heights and users who are sitting or standing.

The ES954 comes with a plenum-rated AT8554 Ceiling Mount with RJ45 connectors and push-type wire terminals for simple, secure installation. The included seismic cable secures the ceiling mount to a drop ceiling grid. The microphone array connects to the mixer over a pair of standard category cables with the two included RJ45 breakout cables enabling connection to the mixer’s mic inputs and LED control. The microphone’s permanently attached 1.2 m (4') cable features a locking grommet for easy height adjustment, and its UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI). An integral, logic-controlled 360-degree red/green LED ring provides clear indication of call and system status.

Need help connecting the ES954 to a third party mixer or DSP? While the ES954 is designed for quick and easy use with the ATDM-0604, modules for use with Biamp, Bose, Symetrix, and QSC are available for download. Please contact AETeam@atus.com for further assistance.
