Dynamic Supercardioid Vocal Microphone Ey Key Features EQ friendly sonic contour Highly detailed frequency response Supercardioid polar pattern Powerful Neodymium magnet structure Shock mounted capsule and low handling noise Fine mesh Memraflex grille General Description Thank you for purchasing the Electro Voice PL80c This product is a premium grade supercardioid dynamic microphone designed to elegantly capture the character of vocals in live sound applications The PL80c s EQ friendly sonic contour adapts well to any vocal texture allowing vocals to sit nicely in the mix without being harsh 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 Although designed to be a vocal microphone for music and spoken word the PL80c will also function well as an instrument or amplifier microphone where a dynamic element capsule would be desired Application Notes As with most directional microphones the low frequency response of the PL80c 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 U2. imension Drawing Pen PL80c Part Numbers PRDOO00162001 PL80c Dynamic Supercardioid Vocal Microphone ji 2 00 4 1 01 ACC000045000 SAPL 1 Replacement Microphone Stand 50 7mm ee Adapter ACC000048001 WSPL 1 Optional Foam Windscreen Black U S A and Canada only For customer orders contact Customer Service at El e ct ro Vo i ce i 800 392 3497 Fax 800 955 6831 Europe Africa and Middle East only For customer orders contact Customer Service at 12000 Portland Avenue South Burnsville MN 55337 49 9421 706 0 Fax 49 9421 706 265 Phone 952 884 4051 Fax 952 884 0043 Other Internatonal locations For customer orders Contact Customer Service at 1 952 884 4051 Fax 1 952 887 9212 www electrovoice com For warranty repair or service information contact the Service Repair department at Bosch Communications Systems 08 2008 800 685 2606 Part Number LIT000255 Rev B For technical assistance contact Technical Support at 866 78AUDIO Specifications subject to change without notice
3. sing this microphone at distances greater than 6 inches provides minimal coloration from proximity effect Proximity 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 When close talked 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 the sound entering the microphone from the loudspeakers Warranty This Electro Voice PL80c product is guaranteed against malfunc tion due to defects in materials or workmanship for a period of three 3 years from the date of original purchase Please refer to the Limited Warranty card included with your product for further warranty information Technical Specifications Element Type Dynamic Neodymium Magnet Structure Frequency Response 80 Hz 16 000 Hz Polar Pattern Supercardioid Sensitivity Open Circuit 2 2 mV Pa 53 dBV Voltage 1 kHz Polarity Positive pressure on diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 relative to pin 3 Rated Impedance 600 ohms Microphone Connector 3 pin XLR type Finish Textured satin handle with Memraflex grille Dimensions Leng
