Earthworks FM720
27" flexible neck microphone for podium, choir and instruments

The extra long model is the best hanging choir mic. It can also be used to pick up a group of mixed musicians with minimal visibility. Earthworks FM720's flexible neck allows it to stand cobra-like on a desk top without a stand.

Earthworks Flex Series microphones offer the same great sound and open easy to use cardioid pickup as our SR69 and SR71 but with a range of quiet, flexible neck lengths. These allow real time and real world adjustment of microphone positioning. Earthworks Flex mics are intended for podium use, hanging choir mics and for reaching into hard to reach places such as drums and hammer dulcimers.

Earthworks FM720's on-axis sound quality is natural and uniform all the way out to 90 degrees and yet arrivals from off-axis are rejected smoothly with very little coloration. This is a strong plus for church, civic and corporate podium vocal applications because an orator moving about in front of the mic will be picked up more evenly than with most microphones.

The sound quality of the Flex mics is every bit as good as our other cardioids for applications ranging from acoustic guitar to choirs. Earthworks Flex mics will also cleanly handle very loud sources like drums and guitar amps.

The Flex Series Microphones are flat from 50 Hz to 20 kHz within ±2 dB at 6 inches. This level of accuracy is unusual in flexible microphones. Earthworks Flex mics facilitate intelligibility and communication through time accurate response. Earthworks FM720's are optimized for fast clean impulse response. This results in uncolored sound because the relationships between frequency and time are less smeared than with normal mics. They sound true to life and are user friendly.
