Stage Boundary Microphone for Theater, Conference, and Broadcast
The
AKG PCC160 is a professional surface-mount boundary microphone ideal for theaters, conferences, broadcast desks, and stage use. Its phase-coherent design and half-supercardioid pickup pattern deliver precise directional audio capture with minimal feedback and noise, making it an industry standard in performance settings. The low-profile build and rugged steel construction ensure reliable performance even in demanding environments.
AKG PCC160 Competitive Differences
- Half-supercardioid polar pattern for focused, directional pickup with excellent off-axis rejection
- Phase-coherent boundary design enhances clarity and speech intelligibility
- Surface-mounted configuration increases directivity by 3 dB
- Low-profile, heavy-duty steel construction for durability in live and touring applications
- Bass Tilt switch for reducing low-frequency rumble and handling noise
- TA3 (Mini-XLR) output with included 15-foot cable and XLR connector
- Wide frequency response from 50 Hz to 18 kHz ensures natural sound reproduction
AKG PCC160 Description
The
AKG PCC160 is a boundary layer microphone engineered for high-performance vocal and speech capture in professional applications. It uses a miniature electret condenser capsule with a half-supercardioid polar pattern, allowing it to reject unwanted ambient noise and deliver high gain-before-feedback in challenging acoustic environments.
Designed to be mounted on surfaces such as conference tables, podiums, or stage floors, the PCC160 capitalizes on boundary mic principles to increase directivity and minimize phase issues. This results in a clear, accurate signal even from speakers or performers positioned at a distance.
A built-in "Bass Tilt" switch lets users roll off excessive low-end frequencies caused by stage rumble or handling noise, making the PCC160 well-suited for use in both installed and touring sound systems. Its compact footprint and rugged steel housing make it a reliable and unobtrusive solution for capturing clean audio in a variety of environments.
