The vocalist’s vocal microphone. There are singers—you know them—who sing a few songs and add harmonies when necessary, but are far more likely to brag about their gui- tar work than their voice. Then there are the true vocalists, the ones who’ve worked long and hard on their tone: breathiness, raspiness, throatiness... characteristics that make their voice unique and their own. They love their mic; they work it with style and distance, playing off it like a guitarist plays off a prized instrument.

For the vocalist who is far more than just a singer, there is the PL84. Its meticulously designed cardioid condenser capsule is carefully voiced for intimate detail and presence, lifting even the softest whispers, yet truly capturing raw passion when a voice kicks into overdrive. The PL84 is designed as an extension of the voice, inspiring creative expression, delivering a high-per- formance blend of tight-yet-warm low-end, smooth and musical mid-range, and crisp-yet-silky high frequency content.

When the convenience of an on/off switch meets the requirements of a vocalist who needs to mute and un-mute their mic from the performance position, there is the PL84S. Delivering the identical sonic characteristics of the PL84, the switched version PL84S features a virtually silent and lockable on/off switch unlike any other condenser vocal mic on the market.
