AKG PZM10 LL Flush-Mount Line-Level Boundary Layer Microphone

About: AKG PZM10 LL Flush-Mount Line-Level Boundary Layer Microphone

The PZM-10LL has a line-level output from its unterminated cable. It requires 12 to 24 V DC. Like other Pressure Zone Microphones, the PZM- 10 and PZM-10LL use a miniature mic capsule mounted very near a sound-reflecting plate or boundary, in the Pressure Zone. In this zone, direct sound from the sound source combines in phase at all frequencies with reflected sound off the boundary. The benefits are many: 6 dB more sensitivity, 6 dB less noise, a wide smooth frequency response free of phase interference, excellent clarity and “reach”, and consistent pickup anywhere around the mic.

• Hemispherical polar pattern - For clear, intelligible pickup of speech
• Low profile, cylindrical design - Perfect for wall or tabletop installations
• Line-level output - Unterminated cable for optimized level matching
• PZM10 LL powered by 12V - 24V/DC unterminated wires - For the most flexible connectivity

Frequencies below the voice range are rolled off to reduce pickup of air conditioning rumble. The high-frequency response is boosted slightly to help articulation. Because of their tailored response and PZM construction, the PZM-10 and PZM-10LL will pick up conversations or other desired sounds with extra clarity and definition.

The output is balanced, low impedance, which allows long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. The mic’s humbucking transformer and steel case prevent hum pickup, even near fluorescent lights.
