General Description:  
Thank you for purchasing the Electro-Voice® PL80c. This product is  
a premium-grade supercardioid dynamic microphone designed to  
elegantly capture the character of vocals in live sound applications.  
The PL80c’s “EQ-friendly” sonic contour adapts well to any vocal  
texture allowing vocals to sit nicely in the mix without being harsh.  
The enhanced isolation provided by its supercardioid polar pattern is  
an excellent defense against system feedback and cross-talk bleed  
emanating from other nearby sound sources. The result is higher  
gain before feedback and cleaner stage mixes. Although designed  
to be a vocal microphone for music and spoken word, the PL80c will  
also function well as an instrument or amplifier microphone where a  
dynamic element capsule would be desired.  
Technical Specifications:  
Element Type: Dynamic, Neodymium Magnet  
Structure  
Application Notes:  
Frequency Response: 80 Hz - 16,000 Hz  
Polar Pattern: Supercardioid  
As with most directional microphones, the low frequency response  
of the PL80c 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. Using this microphone at distances greater  
than 6 inches provides minimal coloration from proximity effect.  
Sensitivity, Open Circuit 2.2 mV/Pa (-53 dBV)  
Voltage, 1 kHz:  
Polarity: Positive pressure on diaphragm  
produces positive voltage on pin 2  
relative to pin 3  
Rated Impedance: 600 ohms  
Proximity effect can be used to your advantage when a thin voice  
is being recorded. As the vocalist decreases their working distance  
to the microphone, the low frequency content is enhanced. Close-  
up positioning of the microphone will also reduce the potential for  
feedback from the sound reinforcement system. When close-talked,  
the bass-boost provides an increase in overall microphone output  
level. The mixer gain may be proportionately reduced, resulting in  
a reduction of the system’s sensitivity to feedback caused by the  
sound entering the microphone from the loudspeakers.
