EV PL Microphones
S
The new PL Series was conceived and designed by EV’s world-class R&D team, consisting of microphone design engineers drawing from decades of microphone design experience, front-of-house sound engineers with a real-world bead on optimal microphone function, and professional performing vocalists who know exactly when the mic-to-voice relationship is just right. The result? A unique lineup of world-class vocal mics that redefine sonic performance, durability, and value. Simply put, with PL, your vocals will sound better, clearer, and with more power and natural tone in the system than ever before. Should your application be a small club PA, a House of Worship praise band, a full-on festivalsized super system, or anywhere in between, there’s a PL Series vocal mic that is perfect for your style and needs.
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, insulating 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
PL-44
Providing superb vocal clarity for any sized stage, the PL44 is voice-contoured for transparency and high-mid lift, delivering plug-and-play placement of vocals in any mix. Ideal for vocal styles requiring punch and finesse, while providing almost condenser-like articulation and dynamic response, the PL44 challenges the performance characteristics of competitive models.
PL-84 and PL-84s
For the vocalist who is far more than just a singer, there is the PL84. Its meticulously designed cardioid condenser capsule is carefully voiced for intimate detail and presence, lifting even the softest whispers, yet truly capturing raw passion when a voice kicks into overdrive. The PL84 is designed as an extension of the voice, inspiring creative expression, delivering a high-performance blend of tight-yet-warm low-end, smooth and musical mid-range, and crisp-yet-silky high frequency content, also there is the PL-84s with the convenience of an on/off switch meets the requirements of a vocalist who needs to mute and un-mute their mic from the performance position. Delivering the identical sonic characteristics of the PL84, the switched version PL84S features a virtually silent and lockable on/off switch unlike any other condenser vocal mic on the market.
PL-80a and PL-80c
Many vocal mics on the market do a fine job in small club and medium-sized venue sound reinforcement systems. However, these same models become less than ideal when challenged with the extremely high wattage and driver area of super-sized arena and festival mains and monitoring systems. It takes a premium-grade, highly specialized microphone with somewhat “turbo-charged” voicing characteristics to deliver the goods in these critical situations.
PL80a
Delivering incredible power and clarity, the PL80a is robust, forgiving, and EQ-friendly, delivering up-front vocal placement in professional sound applications. Superior off-axis rejection, ultra-low handling noise, and exceptionally cooperative tonal characteristics make the PL80a the ideal choice for professionals demanding outstanding vocal performance.
PL80c
With its unique and unmistakable snow gray finish, that iconic PL80 earned a remarkable reputation for superior performance and durability, and was trusted, used, and loved by thousands of vocalists and sound system professionals in its day. The classic returns. Inspired by the legacy PL80 of the 1980s, the new PL80c is cosmetically reminiscent of the legendary PL80, invoking the unique visual appeal of that classic microphone while exhibiting the same contemporary sonic attributes of the new PL80a.
PL-33
Designed for kick drum, low toms and low frequency instruments, the PL33 delivers all the tight punch, transient snap, and natural acoustic properties necessary for today’s demanding sound requirements. With enhanced isolation via a tight supercardioid polar pattern, coupled with application-oriented frequency response voicing, the PL33 excels in performance and value. Although the PL line is designed for professional live sound applications, the PL33 (along with all PL drum mics) is equally capable of handling the sonic requirements of recording studio applications.
PL-37
The PL37 small-diaphragm condenser overhead, hi-hat, and instrument microphone crisply captures all the detail and nuance of a percussive performance. Not to be pigeonholed as “for percussion only”, it also excels in other instrument mic’ing situations where a small-diaphragm condenser would be appropriate. With a tight cardioid polar pattern that minimizes off-axis bleed, magnificent transient response, and high-SPL input capacity, the PL37 surpasses the sonic performance characteristics of competitive models costing up to twice as much. Equally suited for live or studio miking situations, the PL37 is a true workhorse microphone.
PL-35
Putting a completely new angle on mic`ing toms and snares, the PL35 establishes a new price-to-performance standard for dynamic drum set microphones. Designed for super-fast transient response, superior isolation, and sonically voiced to deliver open and natural tom and snare sounds, the PL35 deploys a unique physical design that eliminates the need for right-angle XLR connectors, minimizing cable clutter over the drum. Additionally, the PL35 includes a clever snap-on drum rim clamp (DRC-1) that mounts the mic directly to just about any brand drum rim. With its unique design, drum rim clamp, integrated swivel, and supercardioid polar pattern for isolation, the PL35 takes its place as a must-have microphone for outstanding live sound and recording studio performance.
PL-24
The mid-entry level PL24 delivers all-around vocal clarity in any live sound application. With its balanced blend of controlled lows, palatable mid range, and smooth high frequency content, the PL24 is ideal for any vocal style, while its supercardioid polar pattern provides superb isolation and feedback rejection.
