We did it

right.

It's no surprise that when
the key engineers of our
PZM® microphone technology
set their sights on combining
the benefits of the boundary
effect with unidirectionality,
the fruits of their efforts would
be nothing less than superior.

After all, Crown has been

leading the way in boundary
technology longer than any¬
one in the industry. And, like
the PZM project, our commit¬
ment to developing the
"premiere" unidirectional,
surface-mounted microphone
rings true.
Introducing the PCC™-160
Phase Coherent
from Crown.

Cardioid™

Designed for easy mount¬
ing on a boundary surface,
the PCC-160 utilizes a sub¬
miniature supercardioid mic

capsule to create a direc¬
tional pattern which im¬

And because the micro¬

phone is mounted on a

boundary, direct and reflect¬
ed sounds arrive at the

diaphragm in-phase. The
result...wide, smooth fre¬
quency response free of
tonal coloration or unnatural
sound which can occur with
conventional microphones.
Self-contained electronics
eliminate the need for a
sometimes awkward in-line
preamp box. The PCC-160
be powered directly
from the console or other
can

remote power source. Or if
battery power is convenient,
a battery supply unit can be
inserted anywhere in the
mike line...right up to the

console

or

mixer.

But beneath its cloak of
dark gray, the PCC-160 is
protected by a heavy-gauge,
