CAD CM900VP Remote Variable Pattern Hanging Choir Microphone

<p>The Astatic CM900VP is a professional hanging choir microphone designed for houses of worship, performance </p>

<p>venues, and fixed installations where consistent coverage and musical balance are critical. Building on the </p>

<p>tonal character and reliability of Astatic’s classic 900B choir microphone, the CM900VP adds continuously </p>

<p>variable polar pattern control, allowing a single microphone to adapt to different choir sizes, stage layouts, and </p>

<p>acoustical conditions. By adjusting the pickup pattern from wide omnidirectional coverage to tighter </p>

<p>directional control, installers and engineers can optimize gain‑before‑feedback, improve articulation, and </p>

<p>maintain a natural ensemble sound without relocating microphones or changing hardware. </p>

<p>What truly distinguishes the CM900VP is its remotely controlled polar‑pattern technology, a capability </p>

<p>originally invented and patented by Astatic and first introduced in products such as the 1600VP. Using the </p>

<p>VPC‑1 Variable Pattern Control box, the microphone’s polar pattern can be adjusted in real time via a standard </p>

<p>XLR microphone cable—without accessing the microphone itself or interrupting a performance. This remote-</p>

<p>control capability enables precise tuning during rehearsals or live services, making it possible to compensate </p>

<p>instantly for changes in choir configuration, soloists stepping forward, or acoustical challenges in the room. The </p>

<p>CM900VP represents a uniquely flexible solution that combines Astatic’s heritage in choir microphones with a </p>

<p>proven, proprietary technology that remains unmatched in installed audio applications.</p>
