General Description:

The PolarChoice™ PC-Plus is the first miniature gooseneck microphone to combine the features and
functionality of a desktop mic, with the small unobtrusive size of an XLR mounted gooseneck microphone. The
unique profile of the PC-Plus housing places the push button switch and status LED in a more natural position
and also creates a lower profile housing. You can even go one step further: The lower half of the PC-Plus (with
XLR connector) can be removed and the PC-Plus can be flush mounted. (We supply all the necessary mounting
hardware.) The push-button can be configured for either toggle (push on / off), or as push-to-mute (cough
switch). You can also configure the microphones' state when power is first applied in toggle mode. So, for
example, if you have an installation with multiple PC Plus microphones, you can configure them so that only
one mic is live, when the system is first turned on.
The PC-Plus is also an EV PolarChoice™ multi-pattern microphone. The multi-pattern versatility of the
PolarChoice™ microphone makes it true "problem solver". With 3 directional and one non-directional polar
pattern available, the PolarChoice™ microphone is ideal for virtually any installation.
The PC-Plus also includes a switchable high pass filter that greatly reduces any vibration induced noise pick-
up. All configuration controls are only accessible from the "bottom" of the microphone, reducing the chances of
inadvertent changes.
Altering the polar pattern does not change the on-axis sonic
character of the microphone; therefore changes in equalizer
settings are unnecessary. The PolarChoice™ PC Plus 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 small, dual diameter gooseneck has two supple joints (12"
and 18" versions) and a rigid center tube. The rigid tube prevents
unsightly twisting of the gooseneck but permits the user to
exactly position the microphone. The PolarChoice™ PC Plus is
designed to be phantom-powered with a wide voltage range of 12-
52V dc (DIN Standard 45 596).
