General Description:  
Thank you for purchasing the Electro-Voice® PL44. This product is  
a professional-grade supercardioid dynamic microphone designed  
for plug-and-play placement of vocals in any mix. The PL44’s high-  
mid frequency content design lifts the vocal into the precise spot in  
the mix where they need to be, resulting in fast and effective vocal  
placement. With its extremely accurate frequency response, the  
PL44’s sonic performance is robust and articulate delivering highly  
detailed imaging across the critical vocal frequency range. 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 PL44 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  
Frequency Response: 80 Hz - 18,000 Hz  
Polar Pattern: Supercardioid  
Application Notes:  
As with most directional microphones, the low frequency response  
of the PL44 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  
Microphone Connector: 3-pin, XLR-type  
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.
