More about the CHR15

Some venues have low ceilings or other architectural impediments that can detract from your audio quality. Achieve a clear, even mix for everyone in the room with the CHR15's pole mount socket. This socket offers two positions (0° or -7°) to direct the acoustic energy away from reflective surfaces. Other rigging points allow for versatile positioning so you can effectively “aim” your sound where it will have the greatest effect.
