Overview
The P220 is a large-diaphragm true condenser microphone offering a warm and clear sound for lead vocals, acoustic guitar and brass instruments. A switchable bass-cut filter and attenuation pad make it perfectly suited for use on loud sound sources with sound pressure levels up to 155dB SPL. The rugged and roadworthy design also makes the P220 a perfect choice for on-stage applications.
The P220 Represents's popular and the Most Successful The within a Microphone The Actual Project Studio Line.
Complete with a vast mouthful of ares Spider-type Shock mount in an Aluminum Carrying Case.
Rugged all-metal body and robust design
withstands tough day-to-day use
Switchable bass-cut filter
Switchable attenuation pad
for high SPL applications up to 155 dB SPL
Cardioid polar
pattern:
The microphone is most sensitive to sounds arriving from in front of it while
picking up much less of sounds arriving from the sides or rear (from monitor
speakers or neighboring instruments). This makes the microphone equally suited
for recording and onstage use.
Gold-sputtered
diaphragm:
The diaphragm is made of a plastic foil that
is
gold-sputtered on one side only to prevent shorting to the back
electrode
even at extremely high sound pressure levels.
All-metal body: The all-metal body
adds to the rejection of RF
interference
so you can use the microphone near transmitter stations and
along
with wireless microphones or other communications equipment.
The
extremely rugged, heavy body and sturdy front grill protect the
microphone
from damage from tough handling on stage.
High headroom,
minimum distortion:
Capable of handling sound
pressure
levels up to 150 dB (P120) or 155 dB (P220) without
introducing
perceptible distortion and built to resist high temperatures
and
humidity, the microphone will give excellent results in a wide range of
applications.
Bass
cut filter: Selector 1 on the microphone front further reduces low-end
distortion caused by
Footfall
or wind noise, etc. The filter also minimizes the proximity effect that
close-in miking from less than 4 inches causes in any unidirectional
microphone. The filter rolls off at 6 dB/octave
(P120)
or at 12 dB/octave (P220) from 300 Hz downward.
Switchable preattenuation
pad:
Selector 2 on the microphone front lets you increase the headroom by 20 dB for
distortion free close-in recording. The preattenuation pad prevents the
microphone's output level, particularly at low frequencies, from overloading
the miniature transformers used in many mixer input stages, etc.
