PolarChoice: a solution dedicated to speech installation
The PolarChoice Podium 12XLR is part of Electro-Voice's PolarChoice series, a family of microphones focused on "installation" for environments where voice clarity and system consistency are paramount. The approach is simple: to offer a reliable, discreet, and adaptable podium microphone capable of integrating into rooms with varied acoustics, while remaining quick to deploy thanks to directly accessible settings.
Intended uses and target profiles
This gooseneck microphone is designed for all situations requiring long, clear, and fatigue-free speaking: conferences, meeting rooms, lecture halls, places of worship, stage presentations, ceremonies, and institutional speeches. Its length and "podium" format facilitate proper placement at an optimal distance without obstructing reading or gestures, while the choice of polar pattern allows optimizing the sound according to speaker proximity, ambient noise, or feedback sensitivity.

The XLR output requires phantom power between 12 and 52 VDC. It is designed to be integrated with a mixer, preamp, or audio interface providing this power.
Does the microphone offer multiple polar patterns?
A 4-position selector provides access to omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and hypercardioid modes. The polar pattern can thus be adapted to speaker proximity or side noises. The selected mode affects the voice pickup area.

With a 316.4 mm gooseneck and a total length of 433 mm, this podium format facilitates positioning in front of a lectern.
Does the PolarChoice Podium 12XLR have a low-cut filter?
The built-in High Pass filter reduces lectern vibrations and low-frequency noise. It can help limit handling noise and air-conditioning sounds.
