The POD microphone is in an identical enclosure to the loudspeaker POD. This is very robustly fixed to a horizontal surface and is therefore ideal for tough environments or where vandalism is a significant concern. The POD microphone also creates a symmetrical layout on the counter with identical enclosures on each side. As with the loudspeaker POD the microphone POD can be supplied in brushed stainless steel or painted subject to volume requirements.
