Applications:
PolarChoice PC Plus-5/ PC Plus-12/ PC Plus-18 Microphones
Technical Specifications:
The PolarChoice™ PC Plus can be used on lecterns, podiums, desk and table-tops, or other applications which require a
quick plug-in gooseneck microphone. For permanent installations, the PC Plus can be also be easily flush mounted. To
maximize gain-before-feedback the PolarChoice’s™ three directional polar patterns 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 (included) to control breath noise and P-popping or, in some cases, wind noise from circulating air.

EV Multi-Port Windscreen:
All PolarChoice microphones come with the exclusive EV
Multi-Port Windscreen. This unique one-piece ported design
offers greatly improved resistance to “P”-popping noise by
creating a two-stage filter that has an air space between the
stages. This makes the multi-port windscreen as effective
as much larger traditional designs.
