The PL33 is designed for kick drum, low toms and low frequency instruments, and is price positioned to compete with other leading models. Delivering all of the tight punch and transient snap necessary for today's demanding sound requirements; the PL33 is destined to become a staple in every professional soundperson's arsenal of mics. With its enhanced isolation via a tight supercardioid polar pattern, coupled with its application-oriented frequency response voicing, it challenges the performance of competitive models costing up to twice as much. Although the PL line is designed for professional live sound applications, the PL33 (as well as all of the PL drum mics) is equally capable of handling the sonic requirements of recording studio applications.
