Frequently Asked Questions
What type of applications is the Shure CVG18D-B/C designed for?
It is designed for installed sound reinforcement in conference rooms, boardrooms, courtrooms, and houses of worship where permanent, hands-free speech pickup is needed.
Does this microphone require phantom power?
Yes, the CVG18D-B/C is an electret condenser microphone with an inline preamp that requires phantom power to operate.
What does the dual-section gooseneck allow you to do?
The dual-section gooseneck lets you bend and position the microphone at two independent points, giving you precise control over the angle and height of the capsule relative to the speaker.
Does the integrated desktop base need a separate stand or mount?
No, the integrated desktop base is built in, so the microphone sits directly on a table or podium surface without requiring additional mounting hardware.
What is the polar pattern and why does it matter for speech?
The cardioid polar pattern picks up sound primarily from the front of the capsule and rejects sound from the sides and rear, which maximizes speech intelligibility and reduces the chance of feedback in PA systems.
