Description
The PolarChoice™ Desktop is a high quality desk microphone that can be used with both standard and automatic mixers.The PC Desktop features the exclusive EV PolarChoice miniature multi-pattern gooseneck microphone. The multi-pattern versatility of the PolarChoice microphone makes it a true "problem solver". With one nondirectional and 3 directional polar patterns available, the PolarChoice microphone is ideal for virtually any installation. The PC Desktop also includes a switchable high pass filter that helps reduce any vibration induced noise pickup.The PC Desktop features a large push button mute switch that has a much better "feel" than membrane switches. The mute button can be configured for push-on / push-off, push-to-talk, or push-to-mute function. Switch programming is easily accomplished without disassembling the microphone. A switch on the bottom quickly converts the PC Desktop to automatic mixer mode. In this mode, audio is always on.
Features:
- Multi-pattern versatility. Choose between omni, cardioid, supercardioid or hypercardioid to easily adapt to any situation.
- Consistent microphone voicing across all four patterns.
- Switch can be programmed to operate as either latching on/off or momentary push-to-mute/pushto-talk.
- Disassembly of the mic isn't required to change switch functions.
- Compatible with echo cancellation for conference applications.
- High visibility blue LED clearly displays mic status to the user.
- Exceptional sound quality with EV's proven PolarChoice design.
