Pad Switch

The pad switch helps prevent distortion from extremely loud sources, such as when close-miking horns or drums.

Proximity Effect

Unidirectional microphones such as the PG27 progressively boost bass frequencies by 6 to 10 dB below 100 Hz when the microphone is at a distance of about 6 mm (1/4 in.) from the sound source. This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to create a warmer, more powerful sound.
