The Astatic CM900VP is built for audio engineers and installers working in houses of worship, performing arts venues, and permanent installed sound systems where choir coverage must be precise and repeatable. Hanging overhead in fixed positions, the microphone needs to serve multiple configurations, from large ensemble performances to smaller ensembles with soloists stepping forward, without requiring physical relocation or hardware changes. The CM900VP addresses this directly with a continuously variable polar pattern that is adjusted remotely in real time, making it a practical tool for environments where accessing the microphone mid-service or mid-performance is not an option.

What sets the CM900VP apart from standard fixed-pattern hanging microphones is its remotely controlled polar pattern technology, a capability originally invented and patented by Astatic. Using the separately available VPC-1 Variable Pattern Control box and a standard XLR cable run, the pickup pattern can be shifted from wide omnidirectional coverage to tighter directional control during a live service or rehearsal, with no interruption to the program. This allows the system operator to optimize gain-before-feedback, improve articulation, and compensate for shifting acoustical conditions on the fly. Built on Astatic's proven 900-series choir microphone platform, the CM900VP carries forward the tonal character that installers have trusted for decades while adding a level of adaptability that fixed-pattern alternatives simply cannot match.
