Thank you for choosing the Peavey

PVM 46 diamond-coated micro-
Element Type:
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
