June 25, 2013, Milford, NH – Florida-based audio, lighting and AV production company Sound Media deployed two Earthworks FMR500 podium microphones at Florida Governor Rick Scott’s April press conference in Riveria Beach, Florida.
Lennox Foster, President of Sound Media, selected two FMR500 19 inch podium microphones for the press conference, his go-to choice for podium miking.
“Speakers tend to shift from side to side when speaking, turn their heads, speak softly or too loud and back away from the mic. The FMR500 helps us to combat these issues,” Foster explains. “The response is consistent and clear during the entire presentation.”
Lennox also noted the response of the press conference’s organizers to the FMR500s. “Organizers of the press conference were amazed at the quality and gain of the microphones. This press conference was conducted in a manufacturing facility with a high ambient noise.”
For this particular event, Foster utlized two Meyer Sound UPA-1P loudspeakers on stands, a Presonus Live 24.4.2 console and two Earthworks FMR500 podium microphones.
“A typical setup range from 8 – 12 Turbosound Flex line array loudspeakers per side in larger venues like ballrooms and arenas to 2 Meyer Sound UPA-1P on stands. Consoles choices are Yamaha PM5D, Yamaha M7CL, Presonus live or Allen and Heath analog consoles. Our podium choice is always 2 Earthworks FMR500.”
“It is great working with Earthworks as a company. Craig Breckenridge was able to listen to our request, recommend the correct product, sent samples for evaluation, then followed up to verify we found the solution,” concludes Lennox.
