Crown PCC130SW Surface Mount Boundary Microphone

Crown PCC130SW Surface Mount Boundary Microphone

The Crown PCC-130SW is a surface mounted supercardioid microphone of professional quality. This handsomely styled unit is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include distance learning, teleconferencing, courtrooms and council chambers. The PCC-130SW has a silent-operating membrane switch which is normally off. The switch can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on or momentary off. This configuration is set by a bottom-mounted slide switch. A high-intensity LED lights when the unit is on. The PCC-130SW is intended for multiple microphone use on a conference table where each person wants control of his or her microphone.

The microphone attenuates 70 dB when the switch is in the off position. Since the microphone capsule is placed on a boundary or surface, direct and reflected sounds arrive at the diaphragm in-phase resulting in a wide, smooth frequency response free of phase interference. Clarity and reach are also enhanced.

Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line preamp. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130SW has a low impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high frequency loss. A 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor-
shield microphone cable is included with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output). RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.
