Description
The PC Plus-12 is a 12 in gooseneck microphone engineered to capture clear speech in demanding acoustic environments. It combines a dual-capsule electret condenser element and a flexible gooseneck for precise positioning. The unit connects via a standard 3-pin XLR male base for direct integration into pro audio inputs.
The microphone features four user-selectable polar patterns – omnidirectional / cardioid / super-cardioid / hyper-cardioid – enabling tailored pickup patterns for different room acoustics. A detachable low-frequency roll-off filter reduces rumble, vibration and proximity bass buildup. The dual-capsule design delivers consistent tonal balance across patterns for intelligible speech.
Performance is specified from 50 Hz to 20 kHz and the microphone tolerates up to 135 dB SPL before clipping. The electret condenser element provides sensitive, low-noise capture suitable for spoken word applications. The circuitry is solid-state and the microphone is end-address configured for natural speech pickup.
Connectivity is via a standard 3-pin XLR male base and the microphone requires phantom power at an operating range of 12 to 52 V. The XLR base enables quick connection to mixers, podium inputs and desktop surfaces without additional adapters. The microphone operates as a mono element and provides a single balanced analog XLR output.
Typical applications include houses of worship, auditoriums, lecture halls, board rooms and conference facilities where controlled directional pickup is required. The selectable polar patterns make it effective in both highly ambient environments and wide-area pickup scenarios. The 12 in gooseneck balances reach and mechanical stability on lecterns and desks.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the XLR base and flexible gooseneck, and routine setup requires only phantom power and pattern selection. The included low-cut filter and robust solid-state circuitry contribute to reliable daily operation. The microphone is finished in black and designed for professional environments where clear, repeatable speech capture is needed.
