Is your conference hall, house of worship, or event venue in need of a durable top-tier podium mic? Sweetwater has your hot-ticket item in the form of Earthworks Audio's FlexMic microphone. These second-generation FlexMic podium microphones improve upon their predecessors in myriad ways, including richer overall sound, more accommodating polar patterns, lower phantom power requirements, and greater compatibility with a wider array of systems. Additionally, the FlexMic's copper-wound gooseneck is made with typical Earthworks build quality, which is to say you're sure to get years of usage from your FlexMic.

Earthworks Audio: making art out of microphones

When asked to describe Earthworks Audio microphones, Sweetwater engineers immediately think of two words: speed and transparency. Long renowned for their incredible measurement microphones featuring blazing-fast rise times of mere microseconds, studio professionals revere Earthworks Audio studio and stage microphones for their honest representation of sound sources with minimal coloration. The company's microphones brandish a stainless steel solid rod construction, which is an instantly recognizable and quintessential example of impeccable form meeting top functionality.

Earthworks FlexMic Features:

Available in 3 different lengths: 16, 20, or 24 in.
Available with a cardioid or supercardioid polar pattern that captures crystal-clear audio while maintaining excellent off-axis rejection
Max input of 148dB SPL — more than enough for any speaking application
Only 20dB (A-weighted) of self-noise
Copper-wound gooseneck guarantees you many years of usage
New 2nd-generation circuitry attenuates phantom power requirements as well as increases compatibility with all kinds of preamps and inputs
Intended for podiums and lecterns in applications such as critical public speaking events, houses of worship sermons, televised broadcast productions, and more
Optional accessories available separately: FMW2 foam windscreen and PMM1 microphone mount
2-year warranty
Designed, tuned, and assembled in the USA

What is Certified Open Box Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call "Certified Open Box" 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.

Certified Open Box (also known as a demo) means we’ve had it out of the box for our YouTube channel, displayed at events, tested in our studio, or maybe it was in a customer’s hands for a few days and isn’t ‘factory fresh’ as a result. Every Certified Open Box 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 Certified Open Box item at Sweetwater, you get:
