Choir microphones have always presented a unique design and installation challenge – the traditional solution is to use an angle guide on the microphone’s lead to aim towards the performance venue. The problem with this approach is that either a very small microphone had to be used to keep aimable weight within practical limits – or locate the microphone’s electronics at some considerable distance from the element – inviting losses and noise.
Earthworks ChoirMics have the electronics housed in the microphone, which provides enough weight to pull the cable straight down for a neater appearance. The ChoirMic also utilizes a 30 foot balanced, twisted pair star-quad cable to prevent RFI. In addition, microphone positioning is not affected by temperature and/or humidity changes. The mini-gooseneck allows the ChoirMic microphone head to be quickly and easily positioned without the use of springs or wire clips on the mic table.
The standard cardioid pattern provides satisfactory coverage and feedback resistance for most installations.
