The Electro-Voice PL80a Dynamic Supercardioid Ultra Low Noise Vocal Microphone (Black) is a premium-grade supercardioid dynamic microphone designed to elegantly capture the character of vocals in live sound applications. The PL80a'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 PL80a will also function well as an instrument or amplifier microphone where a dynamic element capsule would be desired.
