Description:
The PolarChoice(TM) are back-electret condenser gooseneck podium microphones designed for sound reinforcement systems where sound clarity and gain-before-feedback are of major importance.
The flat-bladed screwdriver activated rotary selector switch has the following settings: Switch Setting Polar Pattern 0 Omnidirectional 1 Cardioid 2 Supercardioid 3 Hypercardioid Altering the polar pattern does not change the on-axis sonic character of the microphone; therefore changes in equalizer settings are unnecessary.
The PolarChoice(TM) microphones are acoustically designed for high-quality sound reinforcement and broadcast applications. The frequency response is tailored for wide-range sound reproduction with very natural sound pick-up for either distant or close-up use.
The small-diameter gooseneck has two supple joints and a rigid center tube. The rigid tube prevents unsightly twisting of the gooseneck but permits the user to exactly position the microphone. The electronics housing's 3/4-inch diameter base is terminated with an XLR-type 3-pin connector which allows the microphone to be plugged directly into an existing panel-mount XLR receptacle. The housing is machined steel for ruggedness and superior EMI/RFI attenuation. The PolarChoice(TM) microphones are designed to be phantom- powered with a wide voltage range of 9-52V dc.
Applications:
The PolarChoice(TM) microphones can be used on lecterns, podiums, desk and table-tops, or other applications which require a quick plug-in gooseneck microphone. To maximize gain-before-feedback the PolarChoice(TM)'s multipolar design has three directional polar patterns which allow the user to pick the directional polar pattern for optimum effect. For those applications where gain-before-feedback is not a problem an omnidirectional pattern is included. Applications requiring speaking close to the microphone at podiums, lecterns, or pulpits normally require a windscreen to control breath noise and P-popping or, in some cases, wind noise from circulating air. A small external foam windscreen is included with all PolarChoice(TM) microphones for those applications.
