Know before you buy
Quick answers about the PL80A, and how it compares.
Where does the PL80a fit?
Do I need phantom power?
No. It is a passive dynamic microphone. Speech works best at 5 to 10 in (13 to 25 cm), singing at 0 to 6 in.
PL24S, PL80a or PL80c?
| Model | Type | Pattern | Frequency response | Sensitivity | Switch | Finish |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PL24S | Dynamic | Supercardioid | 80 Hz to 16 kHz | 2.2 mV/Pa | On / off, lockable | Black |
| PL80A | Dynamic | Supercardioid | 80 Hz to 16 kHz | 2.2 mV/Pa | None | Satin black |
| PL80C | Dynamic | Supercardioid | 80 Hz to 16 kHz | 2.2 mV/Pa | None | Classic |
All three are passive (no phantom power), 600 ohm, XLR. The PL80c is the PL80a in the Classic finish, not a condenser.
