PC Desktop-5/12/18

Common name: Electro-Voice PC Desktop-5/12/18

Production Status: In production

The PC Desktop-5/12/18 is a high quality table top microphone that can be used with both standard and automatic mixers and is highly-shielded from RFI/GSM interference. With its omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardiod and figure of eight polar patterns available, the microphone is ideal for sound reinforcement and broadcast applications. The frequency response is tailored for wide-range sound reproduction with very natural sound pickup for either distant or close-up use. The PC Desktop can be used on lecterns, podiums, desks, table-tops, or other applications. The PC Desktop also includes a switchable high pass filter that helps reduce any vibration induced noise pickup. The PC Desktop features a large push button mute switch. The mute button can be configured for push-on / push-off, push-to-talk, or push-to-mute function. Switch programming is easily accomplished without disassembling the microphone. A switch on the bottom quickly converts the PC Desktop to automatic mixer mode. In this mode, audio is always on. The PC Desktop microphones come with the EV Multi-Port Windscreen. This one-piece ported design offers greatly improved resistance to 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.
