Pearl CC 22
Cardioid Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The cardioid version of the 22-family has been the best-selling Pearl model for years. It offers detailed and
transparent reproduction in a sleek design.
“The Pearl CC 22 is a very fine microphone, matching or exceeding the sonic capabilities of its marketplace
peers. […] combining the consistent polar response of a small-diaphragm mic with the clarity and body of a
large-diaphragm mic.” – Sound on Sound
Compact and well built, the Pearl 22 series are outstanding condenser microphones constructed around the 2800
rectangular capsule and a low-noise amplifier. There are currently three different versions: the cardioid CC 22,
the bidirectional CB 22 and the omnidirectional CO 22.
The detailed transient reproduction and smooth off-axis response makes the 22 series an excellent choice for
orchestral and choral recordings, but it is just as perfect for other transient-rich sources, such as acoustic
guitar or piano.
With its crisp, natural sound and extended highs, the cardioid CC 22 is arguably the most applicable model of the
three. It will act as a strong foundation for any microphone collection.
The CC 22 is finished in piano black ED lacquer with a golden logo, ring and engraved model number.
Package includes
* Wooden box
* Microphone shockmount 1930

Pearl TL 44
Dual Output Microphone
The Pearl TL 44 is an updated version of the classic TL 4, and it shares many of its components
with the 22 series, including the 2800 rectangular capsule and the low-noise amplifier. This means
that it provides the same natural sound and smooth off-axis response as the 22 series, but unlike
the cardioid CC 22, bidirectional CB 22 and omnidirectional CO 22, the TL 44 offers separate outputs
for the front and back of the capsule, and, as a result, more versatility.
The dual-output configuration means that the polar pattern can be modified – seamlessly(!) – in the mixer or in
post-production. If the channels are recorded separately, the engineer/mixer can go back and try
out different polar patterns on the same recording. Panning the channels will even make the TL 44
act as a single-unit 180-degree stereo microphone.
The TL 44 is finished in black ED lacquer with an LED indicating 48v phantom power.
Package includes
* Wooden box
* Pearl 1930 shockmount
* Individual frequency graph

Pearl ELM-A
Multipattern Microphone
The ELM-A releases the full power of the ELM capsule. Dual outputs allow for seamless polar pattern changes
in post-production.
“We did a recording with a cello sextet and a soprano placed in a circle around a single ELM-A. It was beyond
compare! What a microphone!” – Joel Bexelius, Sound Engineer, Malmö Opera
Powerful and refined, the ELM-A is the ultimate Pearl. The special properties of the ELM capsule in combination
with separate outputs for each side of the capsule makes for a completely unique microphone, providing engineers
with a whole new level of control over the recording environment.
The 7:1 length/width ratio of the capsule means that the polar pattern for each side of the capsule looks like
a standard cardioid in the horizontal plane, while it vastly reduces high frequencies in the vertical plane, a
property that can be extremely useful for reducing unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling, providing
the audio engineer with a valuable tool to handle poor room acoustics and challenging acoustical environments.
The distinctive feature of the ELM-A is the separate output for each side of the capsule. If the channels are
recorded separately, the polar pattern can be adjusted – seamlessly – in post-production and different patterns
can be tested on the same recording. This also means that the ELM-A can act as a 180-degree stereo microphone
and that it can be used for several stereo configurations, such as M-S or Blumlein, when combined with an
additional microphone.
Just like the Pearl 2800 rectangular capsule, the longer ELM capsule combines the best characteristics from
large and small diaphragms, i.e. low noise, detailed transient reproduction and an extremely smooth off-axis response.
In combination, the unique characteristics of the ELM series microphones make them outstanding for orchestral and
choral recordings and, as a result, they can be found with symphonies and opera houses all over the world.
The ELM-A is finished in piano black ED lacquer with a white logo, ring and engraved model number.

Pearl ELM-B
Bidirectional Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The bidirectional version of the spectacular ELM-series is perfect as part of a stereo pair in a Blumlein
or M-S configuration.
The Pearl ELM-B is the bidirectional edition of the ELM-series, built around Pearl’s spectacular extended
rectangular capsule.
The 7:1 length/width ratio of the capsule means that the polar patterns looks like a standard
bidirectional/figure-8 in the horizontal plane, while it vastly reduces high frequencies in the vertical
plane, a property that can be extremely useful for reducing unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling,
providing the audio engineer with a valuable tool to handle poor room acoustics and challenging acoustical
environments.
Just like the Pearl 2800 rectangular capsule, the longer ELM capsule combines the best characteristics
from large and small diaphragms, i.e. low noise, detailed transient reproduction and an extremely smooth

Pearl ELM-C
Cardioid Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The cardioid version of the ELM-series provides a rich and detailed sound even in less-than-ideal
acoustical environments. Excellent for orchestral recordings.
“The sound from top to bottom and the stereo picture were stunning. One of my favorite aspects of this mic
was that thanks to the capsule’s natural directivity, I could use placement to de-accentuate unflattering
parts of the room, such as floor and ceiling reflections.” – Mix Magazine
“I truly believe that they are phenomenal microphones. […] They have unique directional and
sonic characteristics that certainly place them in a league of their own, particularly when
considering large diaphragm condensers as central orchestral pairs.” – Recording Hacks
The Pearl ELM-C is the cardioid version of the ELM-series, built around Pearl’s spectacular extended
rectangular capsule.
The 7:1 length/width ratio of the capsule means that the polar pattern is that of a cardioid in the
horizontal plane while it vastly reduces high frequencies in the vertical axis, a property that can
be extremely useful for reducing unwanted reflections from the floor and ceiling, providing the audio
engineer with a valuable tool with which to handle poor room acoustics and other challenging
recording situations.
“This is a mic that can be put to work very effectively to tame a less than ideal acoustic.” – Resolution Magazine
Just like the Pearl 2800 rectangular capsule, the longer ELM capsule combines the best
characteristics from large and small diaphragms, i.e. low noise, detailed transient
reproduction and an extremely smooth off-axis response, making the ELM-C excellent as
part of a stereo pair.
In combination, the unique characteristics of the ELM series microphones make them outstanding
for orchestral and choral recordings and, as a result, they can be found with symphonies and
opera houses all over the world.
The ELM-C is finished in piano black ED lacquer with a yellow logo, ring and engraved model number.
“The result was pretty staggering, yielding a kit sound that had great focus and space, but with none of the
room “honk” that you generally need to dial out with EQ and then supplement with individual microphones. […]
I think I’ve found a new favourite for drum overheads…” – Resolution Magazine

Pearl DS-70
Multipattern Surround Microphone
With two rectangular capsules and separate outputs for all four diaphragms, the DS 70 is arguably the most
potent stereo microphone on the market.
The Pearl DS 70 is a 4-channel, multi-pattern stereo and surround microphone. It features two coincident
Pearl 2800 rectangular capsules in a compact and rugged body, making it a portable and extremely versatile
single-unit recording device for both studio and on-location projects.
The DS 70 is an upgrade from the Pearl DS 60, which has been praised by both users and the pro audio
media. The DS 60 was named “Editor’s Choice” in 2012 by German Professional Audio Magazine.
Resolution Magazine wrote: “I’ve seen quite a few variations on similar themes in the past few years,
for surround, stereo and variable pattern mono applications, but the DS 60 is the one that has inspired
me the most.”
Australian magazine AudioTechnology wrote: “The Pearl DS 60 is a powerful tool in any sound engineer’s box.
It’s a go-to microphone for almost all applications.”
The DS 70 features two dual-membrane capsules at 90 degrees with separate outputs for each side of the
capsule, allowing users to record in a number of stereo, surround and mono configurations, such as: M-S,
X-Y, Blumlein, 4-channel surround and countless variations of polar patterns in both mono and stereo. If
all four channels are recorded separately, polar patterns and stereo setups can be altered seamlessly(!)
in post-production. The possibilities are quite literally endless.
Compared to the DS 60, the DS 70 has been upgraded with a new microphone body which minimizes internal
reflections; improved internal wiring; a new capsule arrangement to reduce vibrations and to create an
optimized phase accuracy between the two capsules, and updated indication markings to make the setup faster
and more intuitive.
The DS 70 is delivered in an aluminium flight case with a Rycote USM shockmount, a 10-meter, 8-core cable
and a 4-way splitter termination box for 4 x 3-pin XLR connectors.

Pearl MS 8CL
M-S stereo condenser microphone
A high-end solution for recording M-S stereo on location. The low weight makes the MS 8CL easy to use on a
boompole or mounted directly on the camera.
“The Pearl MS is an outstanding high quality performer, with very low self-noise and transparent wide response,
resulting in very clear and natural sounding low level ambience, which is where lesser microphones usually fail.”
– Glen Trew (Production Sound Mixer)
The Pearl MS series microphones have been setting the standards for on-location stereo recordings for more than
30 years. The current range consists of the MS 8CL, with a cardioid mid channel, and the MSH 10, with a shotgun
mid channel. Both models offer outstanding audio quality in a lightweight, yet rugged design.
The MS 8CL has separate (i.e. non-matrixed) M and S channels, which gives the engineer more control over the
sound and the possibility to decide the width of the stereo image in post-production. This also means that the
MS 8CL can be used as a regular mono cardioid microphone.
The Pearl 1930 shockmount is included and can be mounted directly on-camera with a hot shoe adaptor (optional).
Thanks to our collaboration with Rycote, we can offer a range of high-quality accessories for even the most
demanding recording conditions.
Both the MS 8CL and the MSH 10 are finished in a durable black powder coat paint. An LED indicates when
phantom power is on.
