Earthworks launched its IML Installation Series with its LumiComm Touch Ring designed for permanent table top installation. The product was featured at InfoComm 2014. Pictured here, from left, are the IML12-B, IML10-B, IML6-B, IML3-B.
More details from Earthworks (www.earthworksaudio.com):
Seamlessly integrated into the microphone, the LumiComm Touch Ring consists of a dual-color LED light ring and a touch sensor output, providing integrators complete freedom to assign function and LED color with a media control system.
The IML microphone is a back-electret condenser that features a near-perfect cardioid polar response and a flat 30Hz-30kHz frequency response, allowing orators to maintain the same intelligibility at the front and sides of the microphone without a reduction of high frequencies.
IML models come standard with RF shielding, cardioid polar pattern, 4.5 inch body, black finish, touch sensitive surface, and dual-color (red & green) LED light ring. They are available with 3, 6, 10 or 12 inch goosenecks.
Primary applications for the IML Series include boardrooms, teleconferencing, distance learning, and government facilities.
The product is due to begin shipping in July 2014.
