Derived from Series 21, the PL21 Salmiéri was designed to meet the real constraints of percussionists on stage: high sound levels, multiple sources, and timbre requirements. Its electret capsule and balanced frequency response provide faithful reproduction, whether for tight skins, deep drums, or lamellophone and metallic resonance percussion.
Ideal for percussionists, drummers, and backliners seeking quick and stable capture. It adapts to congas, bongos, djembes, cajons, timpani, rototoms, tambourines, tablas, batas, darbukas, bendirs, bodhrans, toms, snares, drums, surdos, talking drums, udus, steel drums... Its discreet mounting allows multiple mic placements without weighing down the kit.
With a maximum SPL of 140 dB, the PL21 handles the most powerful hits without distortion. Its linear response highlights attack, warmth, and natural harmonics for easier mixing and minimal equalization.
The flexible gooseneck allows precise positioning close to the drumhead or soundboard. The lightweight rubber clamp protects the instrument and ensures excellent vibration isolation, reducing unwanted noise and feedback.
Supplied with a mini XLR to XLR adapter for wired use (48 V phantom power required), the microphone can also operate in UHF mode via a dedicated instrument bodypack (sold separately), convenient for mobile setups and busy stages.
