The enhanced isolation provided by its supercardioid polar pattern is an excellent defense against system feedback and cross-talk bleed emanating from other nearby sound sources. The result is higher gain before feedback and cleaner stage mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough designed to be a vocal microphone for music and spoken word, the PL80A will also function well as an instrument or amplifier microphone where a dynamic element capsule would be desired.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeight Net: 11.8 oz (333 g)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAudio Frequency Response: 80 Hz - 16,000 Hz\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCase Material: Die cast zinc\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConnector Type: 3-pin XLR\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElement: Dynamic\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFamily: PL Series\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinish: Textured Satin Black\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eImpedance, Low-Z balanced: 600?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMic Type: Handheld\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOpen Circuit Voltage: 2.2mV\/Pascal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePolar Pattern: Supercardioid\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower Requirement: Passive\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccessories Included: Stand Adaptor with Euro thread insert \u0026amp; Gig Bag\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApplication Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs with most directional microphones, the low frequency response of the PL80A microphone varies with the distance from the sound source. Known as “proximity effect”, the bass response of the microphone increases as the working distance to the microphone is reduced. This “bass boost” is only audible when working at distances closer than 6 inches. Therefore, working close to the microphone will produce a more robust sound. Using this microphone at distances greater than 6 inches provides minimal coloration from proximity effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProximity effect can be used to your advantage when a thin voice is being recorded. As the vocalist decreases their working distance to the microphone, the low frequency content is enhanced. Close-up positioning of the microphone will also reduce the potential for feedback from the sound reinforcement system. Then, the bass boost provides an increase in overall microphone output level. The mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduction of the system’s sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering the microphone from the loudspeakers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Electro-Voice","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51901190111517,"sku":"EV-PL80A","price":277.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0998\/2092\/9309\/files\/EV-PL80A.jpg?v=1781811318","url":"https:\/\/scarlettmusic.com.au\/products\/electro-voice-pl80a-dynamic-supercardioid-vocal-microphone","provider":"Scarlett Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
