Earthworks FW730/HC FlexWand Hypercardioid Condenser Mic

FlexWand hypercardioid microphone with 30 Hz to 30 kHz frequency range - black
MFR# FW730/HC

Product Description

The Earthworks FlexWand was originally designed for use as a floor standing choir microphone system.  The FlexWand’s low profile offers a very low profile with no unsightly microphone cables visible above floor level.  It is neat, sleek and clean.  When using FlexWands to mike a choir, they are barely visible from the congregation. This is not to mention the pristine sound quality coming from the incorporated high definition microphone with a frequency response of 30Hz to 30kHz.

The FlexWand™ also offers near perfect polar response and the ability to reject sounds from the rear of the microphone, making it a perfect solution for choirs and vocal groups. 

The FlexWand is also ideal for miking musical instruments in either live sound or recording applications.  The FlexWand™ microphone head can be placed virtually anywhere from 7' to 1.5' above floor level.  It comes in both cardioid and hypercardioid models and is available in black only.

Features:

  • Frequency response of 30Hz to 30kHz
  • Near perfect polar response and the ability to reject sounds from the rear of the microphone, making it a perfect solution for choirs and vocal groups
  • Large flex section near the center of the stand that couples the stand and the wand
  • Mini-gooseneck between the end of the wand and the microphone head
  • The combination of a mid-flex section and the mini flex on the wand provide an infinite combination of placement options between 1.5' and 7' for the FW730 and 10" and 4.7' for the FW430
  • Substantial improvement in gain before feedback
  • The near perfect polar response of the FlexWand™ allows the use of fewer microphones on choir, with better sound quality, no spotlighting and incredible rejection of sounds from the rear of the microphone
  • Ideal where bands or orchestras are placed in front of a choir, as the FlexWand™ will reject much of the sound of the band or orchestra
  • The sturdy 12 lb. base will not allow the FlexWand™ to be accidentally knocked over
  • The tripod base models allow for easy transport

The design is excellent and sounds great. Not only on Choral but I have had success on grand piano, Drum overheads and the stand system is Great. . .

I would like to thank VK for the wonderful sales assistance, service and prices. This was my first purchase with you and it won't be my last. I only wish I'd discovered you years ago!

I had two Grammy wins this year - Ray LaMontagne & Carolina Chocolate Drops. Both made with help from Vintage King!

In almost 20 years in Pro audio buying, never did I receive a unit so well packed and exactly as described. Works flawlessly. The whole process has been so smooth. I will never hesitate to do business with you guys in the future and will recommend you to everyone I know.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.
Phil T.
The speed of delivery exceeded my expectations! I was VERY pleased that my shipment arrived in time for a scheduled vocal tracking session. The packing insured that my order arrived safely. And the sales staff responded quickly to questions regarding the product.

You guys have excellent customer service and I am excited about the next upgrade I complete on my fifth recording facility. I've been in the studio business for forty plus years. The salesman I worked with at Vintage King was the best of the best. You all rock!

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.
Michael D.
From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
Thomas W.
I am a new customer of yours. You guys provided me the absolute best deals in ordering all the equipment to power my brand new recording studio. Your customer service is amazing and i will always deal with you from here on out.
