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.
Common features:
Powerful neodymium magnet structures provide superior 
output, ultra-fast transient response, and excellent frequency 
response characteristics.
Tight-mesh Memraflex™ grilles maintain their form regardless 
of treatment, protecting the capsule under the 
most demanding conditions. 
Proprietary suspension offers superior shock mounting, insu-
lating and isolating the capsule from handling noise and the 
destructive impact of accidental drops.
Superior polar pattern characteristics maintain uniformity with 
direct and indirect incoming sound, minimizing off-axis tonal 
coloration and allowing for higher gain and clarity.
Multi-stage pop filters minimize the plosives caused by breath 
and wind velocity, ensuring clean, articulate close-mic’d vocals 
without pops.
Non-reflective textured satin finish provides a comfortable and 
secure grip.
Solid, roadworthy construction, backed up by a three-year warranty
