Peavey Electronics PM 18S Podium Microphone Black

Podium Microphone for Speech

The Peavey PM 18S is a podium microphone finished in black, designed for spoken-word applications such as lectures, conferences and houses of worship. Its form factor suits fixed installations where a discreet, gooseneck-style presence is required. The unit is supplied new and ready for immediate integration into professional audio systems.

Practical Limits of Wired Connection

As a wired microphone, the PM 18S relies on a physical cable run to the mixer or amplifier, so cable length and routing dictate placement flexibility. Signal integrity is maintained only within the constraints of the chosen cable specification and connector quality. Phantom power or preamp gain must be provided by the connected equipment, as the microphone itself does not generate its own supply.

Cardioid Pattern Defines Pickup

The cardioid polar pattern is the single specification that determines whether this microphone suits a given speaking position. It captures sound primarily from the front while rejecting off-axis noise, making it appropriate for a single speaker at a lectern. Buyers needing omnidirectional coverage for round-table discussions or multiple talkers should consider a different pattern.
