Multi-Pattern Wireless

Free-Standing Microphone

General Description:

The PolarChoice Satellite is a free-standing gooseneck style microphone, firmly anchored in place
by its elegantly designed base. 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 non-directional and 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.
