Pad Switch
The pad switch helps prevent distortion from extremely loud sources, such as when close-miking horns or drums.
Low Frequency Rolloff
The low frequency rolloff may be used for voice or medium- to high-range instruments. It reduces floor rumble and low-frequency room noise from heating and air conditioning systems. Also used to compensate for proximity effect or to reduce low frequencies that make an instrument sound dull or muddy.
PG42 with Shock MountProximity Effect
Unidirectional microphones such as the PG42 progressively boost bass frequencies by 6 to 10 dB below 100 Hz when the microphone is at a distance of about 6 mm (1/4 in. ) from the sound source. This phenomenon, known as proximity effect, can be used to create a warmer, more powerful sound.

Super Mikrofon! Super Hersteller!Super Enttäuschung wegen eines dummen Details. Warum, warum, warum, müsst Ihr etwas so tolles bauen und dann im optischen Detail so versagen? Was zur Hölle ist mit Euch los?Warum könnt Ihr das tolle Mikrofon (Technisch ein SUPER Produkt!) nicht so designen so dass der mitgelieferte (genormte) Stecker nicht so hässlich rausschaut?TOLLE MIKROFON, absolut ÄRGERLICHES DETAIL.

Opinión, tiene un cable largo y el auricular se conecta al micrófono, lo cual está genial para poder andar moverte y todo mientras cantas y grabas, con un solo cable conectado al pc, parece una chorrada pero no se si son unos 2 o 3 metros de cable y eso genial, la calidad puede compararse con el shure beta 58 A que tengo, es decir, clara, y con clara es clara, definición, de latencia bien, 0, al oírte por los auriculares con efectos añadidos en el DAW (programa que uses para grabar), tipo reverb, delay, todo, y muy bien, enchufando el auricular sin problemas de sonido, no tengo ninguna pega y al estar todo compacto esta genial.

After reading reviews of many high end microphones for home studio recording of vocals, I decided to get this one. I didn't want to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars for one of those well known top of the line studio microphones, but I also didn't want to compromise on top-notch sound qaulity. Once you get to a certain threshold of quality in many things, it's diminishing returns for every extra dollar that you spend. Right out of the box this microphone impressed me. Although it's not in Shure's high end KSM series with some extra frills, this one certainly delivers like a champ in sound quality. I've used several other microphones, but have never heard the precise clarity and pleasing vocal tone quality I get in my home studio recordings using this microphone. You can hear every nuance of your vocals. Granted some microphones are better for some voices than others. But I don't think that anyone but the most finicky studio engineer would hear much of a difference (certianly not any that couldn't be compensated for with DAW tools) with any of the more expensive microphones. The pretty carrying box that comes with it seems a little over the top in extravegance to me. But hey, since I use this microphone almost everyday now, the empty case looks very pretty sitting in my closet. Additionally, IDJNOW-DJ offered it at a great price; and they provided great service and extremely prompt delivery.
