The RE90P-18 is a podium microphone are phantom-powered “backelectret” miniature condenser gooseneck microphone. The back-electret feature provides greater sensitivity, wider frequency response, and superior immunity from handling noise than a diaphragm-electret microphone. The RE90P-18 is mechanically designed for quick, easy mounting to a lectern, pulpit or podium equipped with a bulkhead female XLR-type 3-pin receptacle. For permanent installation, optional fixed (FMK flange-mount kit) and shock-mounted (CPSM shock-mount kit) accessories are also available. The RE90P-18 is designed for sound reinforcement applications. The frequency response is tailored for full-range sound reproduction with natural sound pick-up optimized for close-up use. The small-diameter gooseneck has two supple joints and a rigid center tube. The rigid tube prevents unsightly twisting of the gooseneck but permits the user to exactly position the microphone. The electronics housing has a 3/4-inch diameter base
