Now one boundary mic can suit almost any challenge when tasked to perform on altars, conference tables and stage floors or in media production. Because the Astatic 930VPL has variable pick-up pattern selection it can shorten the list of products an audio system designer requires when boundary mics are specified. From omni-directional to cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-of-eight and all tight or wide directional pick-up patterns in between, an installer or designer can precisely tailor the mics pick-up pattern for the best performance depending on the application or environment.
