description
Thank you for choosing the Peavey PVM™ 46 diamond-coated micro- phone. The PVM 46 is a dynamic hypercardioid incorporating a neodym- ium magnet that has more than twice the sensitivity of conventional micro- phones, and with the diamond-coated diaphragm, transient and frequency response become flawless. The hyper- cardioid polar response is one of the most popular patterns in the industry for micing instruments. The slightly narrower on-axis polar pickup affords the vocal user less bleed-over from other instruments or vocals. The rear reflection of the PVM 46 is typically
15 dB less sensitive than the on-axis response. This helps to reduce feed- back from stage monitors and back- ground noise. The hypercardioid pat- tern also makes micing easier when trying to get a good sound on non- electric instruments.
The amorphous diamond-coated dia- phragm is patented technology that coats the diaphragm with a super-thin layer of diamond that offers many advantages over conventional laminat- ing or other coating materials. Mainly, it improves the stiffness of the large diaphragm. In return, it keeps the dia- phragm super stiff but ultra-light, which is needed for extended high frequency response and sharp crisp highs.
The most significant advances in the microphones industry have been made through the utilization of high-tech polymers. We are proud to say that we are always at the forefront of this industry by searching out and utilizing
