Description
Thank you for choosing the
Peavey PVM 46 diamond-
coated microphone. The PVM
46 is dynamic hypercardioid
and incorporates a neodymium
magnet—which has more
than twice the sensitivity of
conventional microphones—
and our diamond-coated
diaphragm for flawless
transient and frequency
response. The hypercardioid
polar response is one of
the most popular patterns
in the industry for use with
acoustic instruments. The
slightly narrow on-axis polar
pickup affords the vocal user
less bleed-over from other
instruments or vocals. The
rear reflection of the PVM 46
is typically 15 dB less sensitive
than the on-axis response. This
helps reduce feedback from
stage monitors and background
noise.
