PERCEPTION 150
sturdy front grill protect the micro-
phone from damage from tough han-
dling on stage.
• High headroom, minimum distor-
tion:
Capable of handling sound
pressure levels up to 135 dB without
introducing perceptible distortion and
built to resist high temperatures and
humidity, the microphone will give
excellent results in a wide range of
applications.
• Switchable preattenuation pad:
The preattenuation switch (1) on the
microphone rear (refer to fig. 1) lets
you increase the headroom by 10 dB
for distortion-free close-in recording.
The preattenuation pad prevents the
microphone's output level, particular-
ly at low frequencies, from overload-
ing the miniature transformers used
in many mixer input stages, etc.
2.3 Optional Accessories
• PF 80 studio pop screen
• ST 305 floor stand
