Description
Thank you for choosing the
Peavey PVM 22 diamond-
coated microphone. The PVM
22 is dynamic cardioid 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 cardioid
polar response is one of the
most popular patterns in
the industry, giving the user
the freedom of movement
within the frontal lobe while
maintaining a relatively
consistent sound. The rear
rejection of the PVM 22 is
typically 20 dB less sensitive
than the on-axis response. This
helps reduce feedback from
stage monitors and background
noise. The cardioid pattern
also works well when trying to
get a good sound on acoustic
instruments.
The Amorphous Diamond-
Coated Diaphragm is a
patented technology that coats
the diaphragm with a super-
thin layer of diamond, which
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.
