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 non-
directional 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.

Applications:
The PolarChoice Desktop is acoustically designed for high-quality sound reinforcement and broadcast
applications. The frequency response is tailored for wide-range sound reproduction with very natural sound pick-
up for either distant or close-up use. The PC Desktop can be used on lecterns, podiums, desks, table-tops, or
other applications. To maximize gain-before-feedback, the PolarChoices 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.
