Crown PZM10
Crown PZM10 Description:
PZM-10: A low-profile microphone featuring a cylindrical design for ceiling, wall or tabletop installations. Intelligibility is excellent, with low frequencies below the voice range rolled off to reduce the pickup of HVAC rumble. XLR connector, phantom powered.
PZM-10BLK: Same as the PZM-10 but in Black.
PZM-10LL: Same as the PZM-10 but line-level output. Pigtail output, powered by 12-14V DC (not phantom power).
PZM® (Pressure Zone Microphone®) series microphones are omnidirectional boundary microphones. They can be placed on a large surface such as a table, floor, wall, or lectern. PZMs prevent phase interference from surface reflections, allowing a wide, smooth response. Microphone sensitivity is boosted 6 dB by the surface mounting.
Crown's PZM series of pressure zone microphones offer serious tools for the sound reinforcement and recording professional, as well as cost-effective solutions for a variety of other needs. As the first licensed manufacturer of the Pressure Recording Process™ (the foundation of PZM technology), Crown has developed the most successful line of PZM microphones available today.
Crown PZM series microphones let the user optimally place microphones in the performance venue. Designed for use on flat surfaces, PZMs can be placed where conventional microphones do not work well. Their wide, smooth frequency response makes them ideal for miking pianos, harps and other orchestral instruments. Their small size and low profile also make them an excellent choice for recording projects, conference rooms and security applications.
These technical innovations, combined with numerous others, give Crown a leading edge in bringing high-quality PZM products to the market.
