Countryman A3H18 A3 Hypercardioid Podium Mic, 18"

Each A3 Podium Microphone starts with precision-crafted capsules, each tested for perfect sonic performance. Assembled and fine-tuned to optimize polar patterns and frequency response, the result is an uncompromising microphone for the most demanding environments. The A3 Podium’s extremely accurate hypercardioid pattern picks up approximately a 90° cone extending from the tip of the microphone, allowing the presenter to move around or share the podium with a second person. This pattern also has the most rejection of ambient noise and feedback, and is the most popular fixed pattern option.
