Earthworks FM360 Podium Microphone 13 Inch 360mm

Cardioid Gooseneck Podium Microphone for Speech

The Earthworks FM360 is a professional 13 inch 360mm podium microphone designed for clear speech capture in presentation, meeting, worship, education, and installed AV environments. Its flexible gooseneck design supports precise microphone positioning at lecterns, desks, podiums, and conference furniture where reliable spoken word intelligibility is essential.

This condenser gooseneck microphone uses a cardioid polar pattern to help improve speech intelligibility while reducing pickup from unwanted off-axis sound. The FM360 features a 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, high SPL handling, phantom power operation, and a 3-pin XLR output for professional audio system integration.

The FM360 is built for real-world speech applications in conference rooms, lecture halls, houses of worship, auditoriums, and presentation spaces. Its quiet adjustable gooseneck allows users to position the capsule accurately without distracting handling noise, while the XLR male base supports installation into compatible desk and podium flange mounts.

As part of the Earthworks FM FlexMic podium microphone family, the FM360 is optimized for speech clarity, articulation, and consistent coverage for presenters who may move naturally while speaking.
