Earthworks IML3-B

30kHz Gooseneck Installation Microphones with LumiComm™ Touch Ring
Engineered to operate remotely with a media control system, integrators have complete freedom to assign function and LED color to the Earthworks LumiComm™ Touch Ring. The IML microphones feature a near-perfect cardioid polar response, a wide frequency response, and an incredibly fast impulse response. What does this mean for your sound? More sonically clear, detailed and intelligible vocals than any other installed sound microphone can deliver.

Features:

• 30kHz flat frequency response
• Uniform frequency response on or off axis
• More gain before feedback
• Picks up almost no sound from the rear of the microphone
• Near perfect polar pattern
• Gooseneck allows quick and easy positioning
• Black finish on exposed sections
• Programmable touch sensor output
• Programmable dual-colored LED light ring
• Light ring engineered for a wide supply voltage range (From 8V to 28V regulated supply—No external LED resistors needed)
• Touch sensitive flange that provides a pull down touch sensor output (Active Low)
• Light diffuser that houses 10 LEDs providing side illumination (5 Green, 5 Red)
• Current consumption 85mA
• Supplied with either a 5 pin RJ45 connector or a 5 pin Phoenix connector
• Primary applications include teleconferencing, distance learning, surveillance, boardrooms, government facilities, and ambient room miking

Coverage Area
The narrow usable portion of a conventional microphone’s polar response (with full frequency response) provides only a narrow area that will pick up sounds without high frequency losses at the sides of the microphone. The figures on the left indicate how many conventional microphones it takes to cover a room (with an 8 foot ceiling) and provide the full frequency response of the microphone at the head of a six foot man, in standing position.

The figure on the right shows the much wider polar response (with full frequency response) of Earthworks directional High Definition Microphones™, requiring fewer microphones. In addition you also have more sound level before feedback, no spotlighting or highlighting, more rejection of sounds from the rear of the microphone, in addition to a vastly superior sound quality.
