PG56 Cardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Microphone

Overview

The PG56 Cardioid Dynamic Snare/Tom Microphone is a professional quality microphone designed to be used in close-mic drum and percussion applications. With rugged durability and excellent sound, the PG56 features a swivel joint for ease of placement, carrying pouch and choice of with XLR cable, or without.

Features

• Tailored frequency response is smooth and extended. Tuned specifically for drum applications.

• Cardioid polar pattern picks up the most sound from in front of the microphone and some sound from the sides. Less susceptible to feedback in

 

high volume settings.

 

• Dynamic cartridge has a simple, rugged coil. Handles extreme volume levels without distortion.

 

• Cartridge includes a neodymium magnet for high output level.

 

• Internal shock mount for reduced handling noise.
