What is the FlexMic series?
The FlexMic series is JAVS's line of professional-grade digital microphones designed for mobile and room-adaptive voice capture. The series includes three models: the JM-24M Mini (compact and field-ready), the JM-24B Boundary (fully digital with onboard DSP), and the JM-24G Gooseneck (16-inch digital array for precise placement). Each model features selectable polar patterns and LED status indicators.
What is the Nimble 2?
Nimble 2 is a portable, modular audio interface that connects up to 8 FlexMic microphones to your laptop via USB-C. It provides independent gain control and output routing for each mic, supports up to 8 custom profiles with 6 presets each, and requires no external power supply — making it ideal for interviews, hearings, depositions, and field recording.
How many microphones can I connect to the Nimble 2?
Nimble 2 supports up to 8 microphones simultaneously. When powered by USB-C from your laptop, it supports up to 4 JM-24M Mini FlexMics. For larger setups with up to 8 microphones, an external power source may be required.
Are the FlexMic microphones compatible with all recording software?
Yes. The FlexMic series and Nimble 2 are designed to work with your preferred recording applications. Nimble 2 is controlled through a built-in browser interface, so no additional drivers or software installation is required.
What pickup patterns are available on the JM-24B and JM-24G?
Both the JM-24B Boundary and JM-24G Gooseneck offer six selectable pickup patterns: Supercardioid, Hypercardioid, Cardioid, Subcardioid, Omnidirectional, and Bidirectional. The JM-24M Mini offers two patterns: Cardioid and Omnidirectional.

Support & Compatibility
What environments are the FlexMic microphones designed for?
The FlexMic series is purpose-built for professional environments where voice clarity is critical — including courtrooms, depositions, hearings, interviews, field reporting, and portable meeting rooms. Each model is engineered to adapt to varying room acoustics and recording conditions.
Can I mix different FlexMic models on the same Nimble 2?
Yes. The Nimble 2 supports hot-swapping, meaning you can connect different FlexMic models to the same unit. Each input is independently controlled, so mixing models does not affect performance.
