4. ases Imaginative application of the PL60 N D s proximity effect creates useful special effects 1 By working closer to the microphone the human voice will sound more robust 2 Working close to the PL60 N D reduces the occurrences of PA system feedback better than using the supercardioid direc tional characteristics alone When close talked the substantial 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 sound entering the microphone from the distant loudspeakers 3 For musical instrument pickup use the variable bass response to achieve a clean bass pickup at a distance of 12 inches or more By moving the PL60 N D a few inches from the instrument the bass will increase lt 169 mm 667 m FIGURE 1 Dimensions POSITIVE PRESSURE ON GENERATING ELEMENT CAUSES POSITIVE VOLTAGE AT PIN FIGURE 2 Wiring Diagram Pz e m we woe XK FREQUENCY is NERTI FIGURE 3 Frequency Response SLIDE TO LOCK FIGURE 5 Locking Feature LOCKABLE ON OFF SWITCH Figure 5 shows the PL60 N D s lockable on off switch assembly To lock the switch in the on position slide the metal locking tab into the position shown A small screwdriver is ideal for this purpose WARRANTY Limited Electro Voice Professional Pro Line Microphones excluding the Model PL88 are
5. st proximity effect preferred by many entertainers The exceptic sensitivity of the PL60 N D combined with the inherent low noise of a dynamic transducer ensures a superior signal to noise ratio ready for digital record ing and sampling To further reduce noise the microphone uses a highly effective hum bucking coil to cance hum from lighting and other sources The dynamic element of the PL60 N D provides reliable operation in humidity and temperature extremes An Acoustifoam pop filter reduces both wind noise and P pop breath sounds The PL60 N D features a rugged die cast zinc case The Memraflex grille screen retains its shape for years of on the road use The on off switch locks in the on position if desired Electro Voice a MARK IV company Model PL6O NID Dynamic Supercardioid Vial Nicrogtone The uniform supercaricid polar pattern of the PL60 N D ensures superior gain before feedback in live applications The polar pattern aiso provides better isolation in the studio at all frequencies compared with other directional microphones with widely varying polar characteristics USING THE VARIABLE FREQUENCY RESPONSE PROXIMITY EFFECT The PL60 N D s low frequency response extends by positioning the microphone closer to the sound source as shown in Figure 3 This proximity effect occurs when the microphone is within 12 inches of the sound source The effect increases as the working distance decre
