Electro-Voice PC DESKTOP-18 18" Multi-Pattern Desktop Microphone

The PolarChoice Desktop is a free-standing podium style microphone, firmly anchored in place by its’ elegantly designed base. Select one of four polar patterns (omni, cardioid, super-cardioid or hyper-cardioid), via easy to access switch. All patterns feature identical voicing, eliminating the need to retune the sound system. The PC-Desktop can also be interfaced to an auto-mixer for use in those large and difficult, multiple microphone installations. The free-standing and movable PolarChoice Desktop can be used anywhere a gooseneck or podium style mic is needed, but a permanent installation is not possible, required or desired. Whether it’s a boardroom conference table, videoconference facility, training room, house-of-worship altar, or even on a podium - with the PolarChoice Desktop, anything is possible. PC Desktop is available in 5", 12" & 18" gooseneck length versions.
