Electro-Voice PolarChoice Podium 18+ (PC Plus-18) - Multi-Pattern Lectern Microphone with Switch, RF Shield, and 18" Gooseneck

The Electro-Voice PolarChoice Podium 18+ , also known as the PC Plus-18 , is a gooseneck lectern microphone with four switchable polar patterns (omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and hypercardioid). Its dual back-electret capsule design maintains consistent on-axis timbre when changing patterns, so you don’t need to tweak your EQ between setups. It features a top-mounted switch with status LED , programmable as push-on/off or push-to-mute / push-to-talk , and a switchable high-pass filter for low-frequency rumble control. RF Shield technology provides high RFI/GSM immunity in rooms with mobile devices.

The body allows two installation options: direct mounting on a 3-pin XLR connector or flush mounting (hardware included). The 18" ( 457 mm ) gooseneck combines two flexible sections with a rigid center section for easy positioning and no visible twisting. 12–52 V DC phantom power and 200 Ω balanced output, with professional-level performance: 50 Hz–20 kHz , OCV 5.6 mV/Pa , equivalent noise floor <26 dB(A) , dynamic range >101 dB , and clipping level >127 dB SPL . Supplied with a windscreen , two-piece shockmount , and flush-mount kit , in a non-reflective black finish.
