Hypercardioid polar pattern gooseneck microphone
The CGN 323E's hypercardioid polar pattern with its narrow 95° pickup angle is suited best for situations where noise occurs from all sides (particularly in worship centers), where people talk into the microphone from a greater distance, or where several talkers are grouped side by side. Two different lengths are available. The mic's flexpipe ensures optimum alignment of the gooseneck for any speaker's position. Several options are available for installation, i.e., stand, tabletop installation, and lockable permanent installation. Choosing polar patterns Selecting the correct polar pattern for installed sound is difficult since it depends on a variety of factors. Of course the acoustics of the room play a key role. For highly reverberant rooms such as worship centers, a hypercardioid polar pattern will be the best choice to avoid high levels of unwanted room ambience and noise. Correct placement of the loudspeakers is also essential. If the speakers project right at the capsule, a hypercardioid will be your best bet. The most difficult task, however, is trying to judge how the talkers will behave. For talkers who are inexperienced or move around a lot, be sure to choose a cardioid polar pattern for reliable pickup; talkers at a greater distance from the mic will be served best by a hypercardioid.
Hypercardioid pickup pattern greatly minimizes off-axis sounds and improves speech intelligibility in highly-reverberant rooms
95-degree pickup angle
12-inch length, single-flexpipe design
Switchable bass-cut filter is integrated into output module for protection from tampering
Modern styling and unobtrusive matte gray finish blends well into any decor
Optional accessories allow for many different mounting options for customized applications
