User manual ELECTRO-VOICE CO15P DATASHEET

[. . . ] The control switch has the following settings: Switch Setting Polar Pattern 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-12/XLR and PolarChoice PC-18/XLR are 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 and a rigid center tube. [. . . ] The rigid tube prevents unsightly twisting of the gooseneck but permits the user to exactly position the microphone. The electronics housings 3/4-inch diameter base is terminated with a male XLR-type 3-pin connector that allows the microphone to be plugged directly into an existing panel-mount XLR receptacle. The housing is machined brass for ruggedness and superior EMI/RFI attenuation. The PolarChoice PC-12/XLR and PolarChoice PC-18/XLR are designed to be phantom-powered with a wide voltage range of 12-52V dc (DIN Standard 45 596). PolarChoice PC-12/XLR PolarChoice PC-18/XLR Microphone Applications: The PolarChoice PC-12/XLR and PolarChoice PC-18/XLR can be used on lecterns, podiums, desk and table-tops, or other applications which require a quick plug-in gooseneck microphone. To maximize gain-before-feedback the PolarChoices three directional polar patterns allow the user to pick the directional polar pattern for optimum effect. For those applications where gain-before-feedback is not a problem, an omnidirectional pattern is included. Applications requiring speaking close to the microphone at podiums, lecterns, or pulpits normally require a windscreen to control breath noise and P-popping or, in some cases, wind noise from circulating air.

This unique one-piece ported design offers greatly improved resistance to P-popping noise by creating a two-stage filter that has an air space between the stages. This makes the multi-port windscreen as effective as much larger traditional designs. Shock Mount Installation: Drill a 1-3/8 inch hole to mount the hard plastic flange into the desk, table, or lectern top.
