PS-1

Solid State Large Diaphragm Condenser
Stage, Studio, Voiceover or Pod-Cast Microphone

The Peluso Stage One brings Peluso large diaphragm condenser microphone technology to the stage.

Delivering detailed clarity with a warm tone that you would expect from a studio condenser. The PS-1 provides very high gain while delivering the feedback rejection required in a live environment. The capsule is internally shock mounted with dual silicone disks eliminating handling noise. A rugged metal head basket with internal foam windscreen protects against pops and moisture. An 18 dB pad switch will match the gain to familiar dynamic microphones, accommodating more powerful sources. A low-end roll-off switch reduces rumbles and a high-end roll-off switch reduces wind and other high frequency noise. Whether you are playing in a club, a theater, an arena, or at a festival; with live monitors or in-ear, this mic will bring exceptional tone and clarity to your on-stage performance! The PS-1 also makes an exceptional pod-cast and voiceover microphone for those wanting a detailed intimate vocal capture!

      A few details that make the PS-1 so special

      PS-1 Pad
      An 18dB pad switch, located under the head grille, will reduce gain to match familiar dynamic mics.
      PS-1 High-End Roll-Off
      A high-end roll-off switch, located under the head grille, will reduce wind noise and sibilance.
      PS-1 Low-End Roll-Off
      A low-end roll-off switch, located under the head grille, gently reduces low-end gain.  This can be useful in louder indoor live music environments.
      PS-1 XLR Connection
      The XLR connection is soldered directly to the extra heavy-duty high circuit board on over-sized solder pads.  Designed to last for a lifetime of use.
      PS-1 Circuit Board
      Hand -soldered through-hole component circuit board.
      PS-1 Transformer
      Custom wound output transformer for a smooth balanced output.
      PS-1 Capsule
      1" edge-terminated gold-Mylar condenser capsule. This is a true large diameter condenser capsule engineered for live performance, podcast, and voice-over work.
      PS-1 Capsule Element
      The capsule element is machined with post that extends into the mic body.
      PS-1 Capsule Element
      The capsule element is internally shock mounted.  The entire element is cradled by two soft flexible silicone discs.
      3-Pin XLR Cable
      Our 3-pin XLR cable can be purchased here: in purple-green P-G XLR Cable; or here in black-red B-R XLR Cable
      PS-1 Inner Foam
      The inside of the head grille is lined with a thin wind foam.  This foam is just enough to cut wind noise and plosives, while not impacting the full frequency response of the microphone.

        "I have always felt that a vocalist’s instrument is their microphone. Having their studio sound onstage is a goal of many discerning singers and the PS-1 brought Peluso condenser technology to the stage. It gave me the clarity and detail expected of a high-end performance microphone, yet exhibited the warm tone associated with Peluso condensers. For a singer looking for natural sound in a microphone that looks as good on stage as it sounds in the studio, the PS-1 is excellent investment for the serious vocalist."

        "The PS-1 is no joke and no exaggeration - the best sounding stage mic I've ever sang through.  I've used it in theaters, festivals, good sounding clubs and a packed Red Rocks.  The PS-1 represents the full spectrum of frequencies most accurately without too much or too little in any part of the spectrum.  I own a nuemann ksm handheld, and to me the PS-1 sounds leagues better. "
