Peavey PVM 46 is a dynamic hypercardioid microphone with a neodymium magnet and a diamond-coated diaphragm. It is designed for use with acoustic instruments and vocals, and it offers a smooth, accurate frequency response and ultra-high sensitivity. The hypercardioid polar response helps to reduce feedback from stage monitors and background noise, and the diamond-coated diaphragm provides extended high frequency response and sharp, crisp highs. The PVM 46 also features a dual, integral, open-cell foam pop filter to reduce plosives and wind noise.

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.

The Amorphous Diamond-Coated Diaphragm is
a patented technology that coats the diaphragm
with a super-thin layer of diamond that offers many
advantages over conventional laminating or other
coating materials. Mainly, it improves the stiffness of
the large diaphragm. In return, it keeps the diaphragm
super stiff but ultra light, which is needed for extended
high frequency response and sharp, crisp highs.
The most significant advances in the microphone
industry have been made through the utilization of high-
tech polymers. We are proud to say that we are always
at the forefront of this technology by utilizing the latest
designs. By doing so, we have developed a new shock
mounting system that reduces handling noise, cable
noise and noise picked up by the mic stand.
By combining the latest in technologies, performance,
styling and durability, the Peavey PVM 46 microphone
is the professionals choice for the sound reinforcement
industry.
ARCHITECTURAL & ENGINEERING
SPECIFICATIONS
The microphone shall be a moving-coil dynamic
with a frequency response of 45 Hz to 16 kHz. The
microphone shall have a hypercardioid characteristic
typically 15 dB down from the front response. The
microphone shall have an output power level of -48
dBV per Pascal where 1 Pascal = 94 dB SPL with no
load (open circuit).
The microphone shall have a black rubberized
finish that can withstand the toughest conditions.
The microphone uses a standard mic clip for stand
mounting. The connector shall be a three-pin XLR
equivalent audio type.
PROXIMITY
Proximity effect is a naturally occurring phenomenon in
unidirectional microphones. The effect is to accentuate
or boost the low frequency response. This effect is a
function of distance from the diaphragm to the source
and increases as the diaphragm is moved closer to the
source.
