CAD 1700VP Variable Polar Pattern Miniature Choir Boom Microphone Details
The 1700VP is a continuously-variable pattern condenser overhead
microphone system with remote polar control and carbon fiber miniature
boom. The variable polar pattern with remote control allows the user to
precisely adjust the shape of the pick-up pattern for best performance
from a remote location. Utilizing a two-conductor shielded cable (max
length 2,000 feet) between the microphone head and the pattern-control
box, the user can adjust the polar pattern in real time without
changing capsules, microphone positions, or inducing noise in the audio
chain.
Special attention has been given to the
frequency response and sensitivity of the microphone while utilizing
the variable-pattern control to precisely alter the shape of the
pick-up pattern. The large-diameter, low-noise elements produce a
frequency response of 40Hz to 20KHz with a selectable, recessed 80Hz,
12dB/octave high-pass filter that removes unwanted low-frequency energy
when engaged. The filter control is conveniently located on the control
box. The microphone head is made of commercial grade aluminum, the
control box is made of hardened steel, both are powder coated and made
in the USA. The microphone head is painted matte black for an
unobtrusive yet stylish appearance. The remote polar-pattern control
box can be mounted in a single rack unit shelf with optional
accessories.
Up to six control boxes can be
mounted in one rack unit - Astatic RU1. The polar-pattern dial is
positioned for easy adjustment ”on the fly” and can be secured with a
single “Flat Style” blank panel when rack mounted. The 1700VP has been
designed to resist interference from devices such as cell phones,
two-way communication devices and lighting apparatus. Utilizing our RF
Resistant Architecture, the 1700VP meets the stringent RF standards set
by the European Union (see the specification section for more
information).
The 1700VP comes complete with
30' (9.1m) of two-conductor shielded cable terminated with a TA3F-type
connector and 3-pin XLRM-type connector. Also included with the
microphone system is a 3-pin XLRF-type connector on a stainless steel
duplex wall plate, exclusive articulating steel hanger, and anti-twist
thread and rods. The 1700VP is primarily designed for recording and
sound reinforcement of choirs, instruments and ambient miking.
The
1700VP can also be used for vocal pick-up in government, institutional
and business applications. The optional miniature-boom allows the
microphone system to be used on a free-standing microphone post.
The
1700VP microphone system is designed to shorten the list of products an
audio designer needs to consider when hanging microphones are
specified. The remote variable polar pattern control allows the
installer or end user the ability to change polar patterns when
installed or from scene to scene. Adjustments to the pick-up pattern
can be done ”on the fly“ without costly lifts, ladders and capsules.
