The Electro-Voice PolarChoice PC-18/XLR is a professional miniature multi-pattern gooseneck condenser microphone designed for podiums, presentations, and sound reinforcement applications. Its dual-capsule design offers four selectable polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and hypercardioid, providing versatile sound pickup for different installation environments. Featuring advanced RF/GSM shielding, a switchable high-pass filter, and consistent on-axis response across all polar patterns, it delivers clear, natural sound reproduction with excellent gain-before-feedback performance. The 18.1-inch gooseneck features a flexible, positionable design, while the 3-pin male XLR connector allows direct connection to compatible panel-mounted XLR receptacles. It is phantom-powered (12–52 V DC), has a non-reflecting black finish, and includes a windscreen and two-piece shock mount.
