Electro-Voice PL37

​Cardioid Condenser Overhead Microphone.

The PL37 is a professional-grade tight cardioid condenser microphone designed to deliver all of the crisp detail of cymbals, high-hats and percussion instruments in any size sound reinforcement system or recording studio. With its frequency response designed for overhead drum set and percussion miking, the PL37 delivers all of the "dialed-in" tone and percussive transient response detail professional drummers and sound system engineers require. The PL37's tight cardioid polar pattern is designed to minimize off-axis information from nearby stage instruments entering the capsule, and allows for a clean drum set sound and higher gain before feedback. Although designed to be an overhead drum set and percussion microphone, the PL37 can also be used as an acoustic instrument microphone in applications where a condenser element capsule would be desired.
