Continuously-variable pattern condenser microphone system with remote polar 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 (maximum length of 2000ft) between the microphone head and the pattern-control box (VPC-1), the user can adjust the polar pattern in real time without changing capsules, microphone positions or inducing noise in the audio chain.
