Discreet Omni Headset for Speech and Presentation

Discreet, lightweight, and highly accurate, the Galaxy ESM8 single-ear omnidirectional headset microphone delivers clear and open sound, without drawing attention to itself. Omni headsets such as the ESM8 are great for presentation, assisted listening, and recording applications where feedback isn't an issue. This mic delivers the kind of open sound, clarity, and natural immunity to proximity effect that Sweetwater engineers look for in an omni headset. Includes four connection cables for easy interfacing with wireless systems from Galaxy Audio, AKG, Shure, Audio-Technica, and Sennheiser.

Galaxy Audio ESM8 Omni Headset Microphone Features:

  • A high-quality omnidirectional headset condenser microphone
  • Single-ear design provides a discreet look for public speaking
  • Naturally resistant to plosives and proximity-effect bass
  • Perfect for speech, assistive listening, and live recording
  • Includes 4 connection cables for interfacing with wireless systems from Galaxy Audio, AKG, Shure, Audio-Technica, and Sennheiser

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

Rated 5/5

Great value good quality

Great value and good quality earworn mic. The package comes with the adaptors for most of the major body pack transmitters. I am highly satisfied with the quality of the sound for the price.
Rated 5/5

Great Mic!

So small and lightweight. Blows away the stock AKG headsets we had.
Rated 2/5

Good mic, bad AT connector

I wasn't quite sure how many stars to give this because there was good and bad, so read on to see why I chose 2 stars.

The mic itself is really good. The boom/ear loop and cable are thin and light enough that it stayed in place for without the need for tape. This speaker was turning his head some and walking around, but no major or sudden movement. The sound quality and pickup were good as well.

The problem was with the Audio-Technica compatible connector. It appeared to be a cheaper version of the Hirose connector than what AT uses. The walls of the locking ring were thinner, the inner cylinder was slightly smaller, and the metal contacts were not visible in the pin holes. When connected to our ATW-T210 transmitter pack, any bumping of the connector caused popping and crackling. I verified that it was not the wire or the connector at the headset by pressing firmly against the side of the Hirose connector and wiggling the cable by each connector. There was no popping or crackling. However, if I bumped or wiggled the Hirose connector itself, the problem occured. We don't have any other transmitter pack, so I was not able to test the other connectors.

I returned this mic and we will try something else.
