General Description:  
Thank you for purchasing the Electro-Voice® PL33. This product is  
a professional-grade supercardioid dynamic microphone designed  
to deliver the power, punctuation and snap of kick drums in any size  
sound reinforcement system or recording studio. With its tight low  
end, kick drum-modified mid-range and high frequency response,  
the PL33 delivers all of the percussive impact detail professional  
drummers and sound system engineers require. The PL33’s tight  
supercardioid polar pattern is designed to minimize off-axis informa-  
tion entering the capsule, and allows for a very isolated instrument  
sound and higher gain before feedback. Although designed to be a  
kick drum microphone, the PL33 also functions quite well as a low  
tom and bass guitar speaker cabinet microphone.  
Technical Specifications:  
Element Type: Dynamic, Neodymium Magnet  
Structure  
Application Notes:  
Frequency Response: 20 Hz - 10,000 Hz  
Polar Pattern: Supercardioid  
As with most directional microphones, the low frequency response  
of the PL33 microphone varies with the distance from the sound  
source. Known as “proximity effect”, the bass response of the  
microphone increases as the working distance to the microphone is  
reduced. This “bass boost” is only audible when working at distances  
closer than 6 inches. Therefore, working close to the microphone will  
produce a more robust sound. Using this microphone at distances  
greater than 6 inches provides minimal coloration from proximity  
effect.  
Sensitivity, Open Circuit 0.5 mV/Pa (-66 dBV)  
Voltage, 1 kHz:  
Polarity: Positive pressure on diaphragm  
produces positive voltage on pin 2  
relative to pin 3  
Rated Impedance: 150 ohms  
Microphone Connector: 3-pin, XLR-type  
Close-up positioning of the microphone will also reduce the poten-  
tial for feedback from the sound reinforcement system. Then, the  
bass boost provides an increase in overall microphone output level.  
The mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in a reduc-  
tion of the system’s sensitivity to feedback caused by sound entering  
the microphone from the loudspeakers.
