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.

Questions about this item
Should I pick the 12-inch or 18-inch version for my podium setup?
The PM 18S model number points to the 18-inch gooseneck length, giving you extra reach over a 12-inch variant for taller speakers or wider desks.
How does the 18-inch gooseneck perform when mounted on a real lectern?
The 18-inch flexible shaft lets you position the capsule precisely at mouth height without leaning, and the cardioid pattern keeps room echo low during speeches.
What connector does the PM 18S use and what equipment does it plug into?
The microphone terminates in a standard three-pin XLR male plug, so it connects directly to any mixer, audio interface or PA system with a matching XLR female input.
