Description
The Executive Wood Presidential Evolution™ Podium with Built-In Audio – PRES500-EV is a premium all-in-one sound podium designed to combine professional presentation functionality with an integrated high-output audio system. Handcrafted and assembled in the USA from premium solid hardwoods and wood solids, this executive lectern provides a polished presentation platform for auditoriums, universities, corporate boardrooms, churches, government events, and other professional speaking environments.
The integrated 100-watt EWP218 professional battery-powered amplifier drives two full-range high-output speakers to deliver powerful, clear sound throughout the venue. A Shure Microflex 18″ cardioid gooseneck microphone with mute switch provides professional voice pickup, while the included 12″ gooseneck LED light provides focused illumination for notes and presentation materials.
The Presidential Evolution features a drop-down work surface that can be positioned at an angle for reading papers or laid flat for laptop use. The top is available with red, blue, or black fabric, with a matching wood top upgrade available for a coordinated hardwood appearance. Supple leather-covered handrails and a pop-out cup holder add convenience while maintaining the podium’s refined presentation.
Designed for a clean, professional setup, the microphone and LED light can be hidden when not in use, while the integrated wiring remains concealed from view. The tilt-out amplifier station provides convenient access to audio controls, and the hidden magnets in the top section allow a logo or seal to be attached without visible fasteners.
Four casters, including two locking casters, provide smooth mobility while allowing the podium to remain stable during presentations. The Presidential Evolution ships fully assembled in a protective custom crate and includes a custom-fit Hydrotuff cover, making it a complete presentation and audio solution ready for professional use.
