PL37 Condenser cardioid instrument microphone
PL37 Condenser cardioid instrument microphone
A tight-cardioid condenser voiced for overheads, hi-hat, and percussion detail.
Hang it overhead and catch the shimmer. The PL37 is a tight-cardioid condenser voiced for cymbals, hi-hat, and percussion, with a crisp frequency response and fast transient detail that keeps every stick attack honest. The tight pattern rejects off-axis stage bleed for a clean drum-set image and higher gain before feedback. The high-output, self-biased condenser element runs on standard phantom power. Overhead pair, hi-hat, hand percussion: and it steps over to acoustic instruments when a condenser is the call.
