THE PEARL STANDARD
The Pearl Series of professional electrostatic microphones are designed for both handheld stage performances
and studio vocal recording where sound quality and musical character is of the utmost importance. The Pearl
highs, extended vocal presence and optimized low-end response. A soft center band around the circumference
of the head minimizes shock and handling noise. Rugged microphone construction and internal shockmounts
effectively reduce stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks.
The internal phantom powered preamplifier’s Class 'A' fully discrete transformerless circuit provides high output,
flat audio response and ultra low distortion and noise. The output connectors are gold plated for best possible
microphone. FRR is an optional unique reflection ring accessory which is used as a tool to slightly alter directional
characteristics and frequency response by positioning at different points along the microphone body.
APPLICATIONS
The Pearl Series microphones are designed primarily for vocalists, but are also capable of capturing piano, guitars,
drums, percussion, strings, wind and many other instruments. These are unidirectional cardioid microphones and
should be held or mounted so that the rear openings behind the capsule are not obstructed. In vocal applications,
best results are obtained when the microphone is 1" to 6" away. Microphone overload is not a problem, however,
we recommend the use an additional pop filter in the studio or a foam windscreen in live applications for further
protection from plosive sounds and breath, pop or wind noise.
