Earthworks IMB30 High Definition Boundary Microphone

The IMB30 is a back-electret boundary microphone built to disappear into a conference table, ceiling, or wall, with a True Semisphere polar response that keeps intelligibility even as a speaker moves off to the side. Its 60 Hz to 30 kHz response and fast diaphragm settling time capture the detail of speech without the boominess boundary mics are known for.

It mounts flush through a 1 1/16 in (27 mm) hole with a vibration damper isolating it from the mounting surface, and runs on standard 48 V phantom power over a 3-pin XLR. Available in black, white, or stainless steel finish - select above.
