The Shure PGA48 cardioid dynamic vocal microphone is designed for vocalists seeking a durable yet sensitive microphone to deliver powerful and full-bodied sound. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on sounds directly in front of the mic, making it ideal for lead and backing vocals by isolating the main source and minimizing bleed from other sound sources or ambient noise. As a dynamic mic, the PGA48 generates its own signal without requiring phantom power and can handle sound pressure levels up to 148dB without distortion for close-miking techniques and loud vocal styles.

Cardioid Polar Pattern Isolates the Main Vocal Source

The PGA48's cardioid polar pattern rejects unwanted noise from the sides and rear, allowing multiple vocalists to perform together without interference. Its directional nature also reduces feedback in live settings, even at high volumes, by rejecting signals from monitor speakers. The result is a focused capture of lead vocals or backing harmonies.

Dynamic Design Handles High Sound Levels

As a dynamic microphone, the PGA48 doesn't require phantom power to operate. Its dynamic transducer can handle sound pressure levels up to 148dB without distorting, making it suitable for loud vocal styles and close-miking techniques where the mic is in close proximity to the sound source. The PGA48's durable build also withstands the rigors of touring and repeated setups, providing a powerful and reliable option for vocalists.

Tailored Frequency Response for Vocal Reproduction

With a frequency response of 70Hz to 16kHz, the PGA48 is optimized to capture the fundamental frequencies of the human voice. Its low end provides warmth and body, while the upper midrange boost adds articulation and clarity. The result is a full, natural vocal sound with articulate highs and lows that sits prominently in any mix.

Roadworthy Build and Included Accessories

The PGA48 features a durable metal chassis and grille that withstand years of use. Each microphone includes a microphone clip, carrying pouch and threaded adapter that mounts to any standard microphone stand. With premium components and a rugged build, the PGA48 serves vocalists well for live shows and studio sessions.
