Shure Brothers Inc PGA48-XLR Cardioid Dynamic Microphone

Product Description

The SHURE BROTHERS INC PGA48-XLR is a cardioid dynamic vocal microphone designed for handheld wired use. It captures sound from the front while rejecting off-axis noise, making it well suited for live vocal applications. The cardioid polar pattern focuses pickup on the source directly in front of the capsule, reducing feedback and ambient noise bleed. This type of dynamic microphone requires no phantom power and handles high sound pressure levels without distortion. It is typically installed or deployed by audio technicians, sound engineers, and performing artists in live sound and basic recording environments.

This microphone is intended for handheld vocal use in live performance, rehearsal, and general sound reinforcement settings. The XLR connector in the model designation indicates a standard balanced three-pin XLR output, compatible with standard mixing consoles, PA systems, and audio interfaces equipped with XLR microphone inputs. It is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both professional and entry-level trade audio installations.
