Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Pearl Priority is a large-diaphragm FET condenser with a rectangular capsule. It is billed as an all-purpose condenser, with a subtle 5kHz presence boost to aid in vocal clarity.

The capsule design is new. The “Model 2900” capsule is a single-diaphragm version of the 2800 capsule found in many of PML’s microphones. It was designed to be produced at a lower cost, which allows the Priority to meet a retail price point under $799 USD while retaining the sonic benefits of Pearl’s rectangular-capsule technology.

The capsule dimensions are 35x20mm, with a diaphragm size of 28x15mm. The diaphragm material is polyester film, metallized with aluminum.

The Priority has a stainless-steel housing with an open, single-layer mesh grille (also made of stainless steel). The mic will ship with a hard mount.
