User manual VIOLET DESIGN PEARL DESCRIPTION

[. . . ] The Pearl Standard uses a medium single-diaphragm transducer which provides a modern, detailed vocal sound with airy highs, extended vocal presence and optimized low-end response. [. . . ] A soft center band around the circumference of the head minimizes shock and handling noise. Rugged microphone construction and internal shockmounts effectively reduce stand rumble, outside infrasonic interference and mechanical shocks. The internal phantom powered preamplifier's Class 'A' fully discrete transformerless circuit provides high output, flat audio response and ultra low distortion and noise. These are unidirectional cardioid microphones and should be held or mounted so that the rear openings behind the capsule are not obstructed. In vocal applications, best results are obtained when the microphone is 1" to 6" away. Microphone overload is not a problem, however, we recommend the use an additional pop filter in the studio or a foam windscreen in live applications for further protection from plosive sounds and breath, pop or wind noise.
