Professional Live Sound Microphones
Generally speaking, in live sound systems, a microphone’s job is quite simple: to couple an
acoustical sound source (voice or instrument) to the sound reinforcement system components.
How effectively and efficiently it couples source to destination is another matter entirely. Each
sound source is unique—just as each sound system is unique—and, when adding further
influencing factors to this equation, the environment in which this union takes place becomes
equally as unique. Some environments are characterized by low, controlled volumes; some by
moderate, predictable volumes; some are moderate yet unpredictable; and some are just flat-
out very, very loud.

The PL Series was designed for Professional Live sound applications where coupling source
to destination with excellent results is the bottom line; PL is all about outstanding performance,
regardless of environment. Critically designed polar patterns and sonic signatures were de-
signed to meet this criteria. From small clubs to medium halls to super systems in arenas and
at festivals, all PL Series models meet the needs and exceed the expectations of performers
and live sound professionals.
