The Electro-Voice Model PL9
dynamic omnidirectional microphone

Description and Applications
The Electro-Voice Model PL9 dynamic omnidirectional microphone is E-V’s ultimate instrument recording mike. Its exceptionally wide, flat frequency response extends from 50 Hz all the way out to 18,000 Hz for really faithful reproduction of any instrument. Simply put the PL9 inside a set of drums, or outside an orchestra—and capture it all.
