General Description:

The PolarChoice Satellite is a free-standing gooseneck style
microphone, firmly anchored in place by its elegantly designed
base, and is highly-shielded from RFI/GSM thanks to EV's
exclusive RF Shield technology. This low-profile foundation
hides PolarChoice Satellite's most powerful feature - space
for a wireless transmitter. Turn the base over to reveal the
specially designed compartment for housing a Telex or
Electro-Voice bodypack transmitter. Connect the microphone
to the bodypack, set-up the wireless channel, and place PC
Satellite anywhere an easy-to-use microphone is required. No
longer do you have to cut holes in tables, run long cables, or
compromise the architectural integrity of an installation. With
the Polar Choice Satellite, anything is possible.
The PC-Satellite features an EV PolarChoice multi-pattern
microphone. The multi-pattern versatility of the PolarChoice
microphone makes it a true "problem solver". With one (1)
non-directional and three (3) directional polar patterns
available, the PolarChoice microphone is ideal for virtually any
installation. The PC-Satellite also includes a switchable high
pass filter that greatly reduces any vibration induced noise
pick-up.
