Built for High-SPL Instrument Capture

The Superlux PRA628MKII is a dynamic instrument microphone with a supercardioid polar pattern and an XLR connector. Its tailored 80Hz to 18kHz frequency response targets the rich midrange and crisp highs of electric guitars. The capsule handles sound pressure levels up to 150dB without distortion. Rugged metal housing and a gooseneck clamp allow precise placement near speaker cones.

Suited for Amps and Loud Sources

Musicians and engineers miking guitar amps, bass cabinets, toms or brass will benefit from the focused pickup and high SPL tolerance. The supercardioid pattern helps reject ambient noise and reduces feedback on loud stages. Users needing a microphone for quiet acoustic instruments or vocal detail should look at something else because the response is optimised for high-volume amplification.

Decide by Maximum SPL Rating

The 150dB SPL ceiling is the single specification that determines whether this microphone fits the source. If the amplifier or instrument regularly exceeds that level, distortion will occur and a higher-rated model is required. For typical electric guitar and bass cabinets the headroom is ample. An XLR cable is not included and must be sourced separately.

Questions about this item

Will the XLR connector or gooseneck clamp need replacement after heavy stage use?

The rugged metal housing and included gooseneck clamp are built for road-ready durability, so the XLR connector and clamp should not require routine replacement under normal live conditions.

At what sound pressure level does the PRA628MKII begin to distort on a loud guitar amp?

The microphone withstands up to 150 dB SPL without distortion, so the practical limit is reached only at extremely high volumes from guitar amps, drums or brass.

Does the supercardioid pattern or 200 ohm impedance cause noticeable self-noise during all-day sessions?

With a signal-to-noise ratio of 115 dB and 200 ohm impedance, self-noise remains very low even during extended recording or live use.
