Electro-Voice PL44 - Supercardioid dynamic vocal microphone with neodymium magnet and Memraflex grille

The Electro-Voice PL44 is a PL Series dynamic vocal microphone with a supercardioid pattern designed to quickly place your voice in the mix. Its controlled high-mid contour provides clarity and intelligibility without harshness, while the neodymium magnet capsule delivers healthy output and agile transient response. The fine-mesh Memraflex grille resists touring dents, and the die-cast zinc chassis with a satin black finish ensures durability. With 80 Hz–16 kHz response , 2.2 mV/Pa sensitivity , and 600 Ω impedance , it connects via a 3-pin XLR and requires no power.

Main features

• Supercardioid for high isolation of nearby sources and increased gain before feedback.
• “Mix-ready” voice : design with mid-high presence that quickly positions the voice in the mix.
