Superlux PRA-628 MK2 Instrument Dynamic Mic

The PRA628MKII With “flat-profile” design is an optimized model of the PRA628. Side address mounted capsule for miking guitar amps face on and extremely close to the signal source. Super-cardioid pick-up pattern isolates the main sound source while minimizing background noise. With extended frequency response, deeper to the lower bottom range, higher SPL capacity and supercardioid directivity with high gain before feedback, it is suitable for guitar, bass amplifier pick up or instrument reinforcement. Also suitable for drum miking, particularly toms, where the microphone’s profile allows the capsule to be positioned close to the drum skin.

• High dynamic range and extended frequency response

• High SPL up to 150 dB SPL

• Flat pop screen design, closer to the sound source

• Universal clamp and mic clip included

• Tailored frequency response to reproduce the instrument natural sound

• Sturdy metal body

For guitar amps captured medium attack sound profile with balanced sound, place PRA628 MKII around 15-30 cm (6-12 in) away from speaker, centered directly in front of speaker cone. • For percussion instrument captured most attack sound profile with natural sound, place PRA628 MKII 2.5 to 7.5 cm (1 to 3 in) above rim of top head of drum. Aim mic at drum head. • For higher gain before feedback and lowest background noise, the microphone shall be pointed directly to the sound source. • The sensitivity of a supercardioid microphone is highest on axis and lowest at 120 to 135 degrees. • To avoid interference between multiple microphones, each sound source shall be picked-up by one microphone, use as less microphones as possible in one space, or turn-on as less microphones as possible at the same time. • To reduce crosstalk between microphones, an 1:3 guide line shall be follow: The distance between microphone A to the sound source A is “1” , the distance between any other microphone to the sound source A shall be more than 3 times. • Reflecting surface affect sound as well. Beware of these surfaces such as wall, table, or floor. Place the microphone away from the hard surfaces or directly contact these surfaces to form a pressure zone microphone. • When using the microphone outdoor or in windy environment, additional foam wind screen helps to reduce wind noise. • Keep grill pop screen clean to avoid degrading the sound quality. Do not expose the microphone at high humidity/temperature environment to avoid damage
