DESCRIPTION

The PV@ is a cardioid unidirectional dynamic microphone designed for applications in which a built-in “on/off” switch is desired. With a clean, natural speech response and good noise and feedback rejection, the PV is an ideal microphone for vocals, church and institutional systems, meeting rooms, auditoriums, and some instruments – almost anywhere in which convenient local control of the microphone is required. The PV mic has been re-fashioned to make it attractive in any setting. An integral acoustic foam pop and wind filter provides effective control of plosive sounds and moderate wind. The internal shock-mounting system minimizes handling and stand noise. The PV is a rugged, reliable microphone well-suited for rental systems, convention centers and similar rough usage applications. The PV mic gives the look, feel, and performance of expensive professional microphones at a fraction of the price. Also available in Hi Z.

NOTE: The switch mutes the microphone by directly shorting across the dynamic element. Microphones with this type of switching should not be used if more than one microphone is connected to the same input, since the “off” function on one microphone will also short any other unit connected to that input. If this type of operation is required, the use of a transformer-type microphone combiner is suggested. (Another possible alternative is to rewire the PV so that the switch is used to open one side of the line for (‘off.“) For high impedance mics, cable lengths of 25’ or more and input impedance not less than 20 kilohms are not recommended due to loss of signal quality.

Proximity effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon in unidirectional microphones. The effect is to accentuate or boost the low frequency response. This effect is a function of distance from the diaphragm to the source and increases as the diaphragm is moved closer to the source.

ARCHITECTURAL SPECIFICATIONS

The microphone shall be a moving coil dynamic type with a frequency response of 50 Hz to 14 kHz. The microphone shall have a cardioid polar characteristic with a rear response that is 15 to 20 dB down. The microphone shall include a handle-mounted “on/off” switch slide type with positive action which shortcircuits the microphone output. The microphone shall have non-reflecting, low-gloss paint on a die-cast alloy housing and a brazed metal screen. The connector shall be a 3-pin XLR equivalent audio type. The microphone shall have overall dimensions of 6V2” in length and 13/4” in diameter. The microphone shall be a Peavey Electronics model PV or equivalent. This microphone will also have a high impedance model that shall be the PV Hi Z.
