Description 

 

PPC1000 Polar pattern converter 

Slipping the PPC1000 Polar Pattern converter onto the capsule will change the 
microphone's pickup pattern from cardioid to hypercardioid. This makes the 
microphone even less sensitive to sounds from the sides and rear, which is 

particularly beneficial when using the monitor speakers on stage. 

 

PB1000 Presence boost adapter 

The PB1000 Presence Boost Adapter boosts the sensitivity of the microphone 
by approx. 5 dB between 5 kHz and 9 kHz for optimum intelligibility of speech.
