The FlexWand™ is a combination of a 30kHz High Definition Microphone™ and a low profile microphone stand and boom as a single unit. It allows the microphone head to be positioned as high as 7 feet and as low as 1.5 feet from the floor or anywhere in between. There are no visible wires or cables above floor level. Visually it is low profile, smooth, sleek and clean. The FlexWand™ is the ideal solution for applications where the utmost in sound quality and a low profile is required. Now you don’t have to find a mic, attach the mic clip to the stand and then dress the cable around the stand. Just pick up the FlexWand™, position it and plug the mic cable into the base.

Features:
Uniform frequency response on or off axis
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
Substantial improvement in gain before feedback
They will handle high sound pressure levels with high rejection of sounds to 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 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
The sturdy 12 pound cast iron base will not allow the FlexWand™ to be accidentally knocked over
