Electro-Voice PolarChoice PC Boundary Satellite Manual

Key Features:
• Selectable polar patterns; omni, cardioid,
supercardioid or figure 8.
• RF shield provides superior RFI/GSM shielding.
• Consistent microphone voicing across all four (4)
patterns.
• Easy to use mute switch. Can be programmed to
operate as either latching on/off or momentary
push-to-mute/push-to-talk.
• High visibility blue LED clearly displays mic status
to the user.
• Accepts Electro-Voice & Telex bodypack
transmitters. (See page 3 for details.)
• Wireless system sold separately.
General Description:
The PC Boundary Satellite is a low profile multi-pattern
microphone. This low-profile foundation hides PC Boundary
Satellite's most powerful feature—space for a wireless
transmitter, and is highly shielded from RFI/GSM thanks to
EV's exclusive RF shield technology. Turn the microphone
over to reveal the specially designed compartment for
housing an Electro-Voice or Telex bodypack transmitter.
Connect the microphone to the bodypack, set-up the
wireless channel, and place the PC Boundary 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 PC Boundary Satellite, anything is possible.
The PC Boundary Satellite features an EV PolarChoice
multi-pattern microphone. The multi-pattern versatility of the
PolarChoice microphone makes it a true "problem solver".
With one non-directional and three directional polar patterns
available, the PolarChoice microphone is ideal for virtually
any installation. Of particular interest is the figure 8 pattern
that allows miking people on opposite sides of a table with
only one mic, while providing dramatic reduction of ambient
room noise.
The PC Boundary Satellite is designed to take acoustic
advantage of placing a microphone close to a "boundary"
such as conference table. Advantages include reduced phase
cancellation and up to 3 dB reduction in ambient noise.
The PC Boundary Satellite also includes a switchable high
pass filter and high-performance vibration damping pads
on the bottom to greatly reduce any vibration induced noise
pick-up.
