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.
Technical Specifications:
Element Type: Dynamic, Neodymium Magnet
Structure
Application Notes:
Frequency Response: 80 Hz - 16,000 Hz
Polar Pattern: Supercardioid
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. Using this microphone at distances greater
than 6 inches provides minimal coloration from proximity effect.
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
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.
