The PCC170 SW from Crown Audio is a half-supercardioid boundary microphone designed for use in conferences, boardrooms, courtrooms etc. The supercardioid polar pattern provides a highly directional pick up, minimising noise and ambiance at the off-axis sections of the microphone. A wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 20 kHz accentuates the midrange frequencies associated with the human voice while minimising low-frequency noise. A "Bass Tilt" switch further eliminates low-frequency hum and noise. The microphone is powered via 12 to 48V phantom power source, such as a Crown PH-1A or PH-4B power supplies. The PCC170 SW has a silent-operating programmable membrane switch that can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on, or momentary off.
Features
Super-Cardioid Polar Pattern
The super-cardioid polar pattern is effective in minimising noise at the off-axis sections of the microphone, providing high gain before feedback and pick up at long range.
Phase Coherent Pick Up
Although mounted on a surface, direct and reflected signals are reproduced in phase.
Wide Frequency Response
The 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response accentuate frequencies associated with the voice, while minimising low-frequency noise.
Bass Tilt Switch
A Bass Tilt switch further minimises noise born at low-frequencies.
Silent-Operating On/Off Switch
Reduces the number of simultaneously open mics
