Visual Sound, Inc. Phase Coherent Cardioid Microphone PCC-170SWO

Crown International, Inc. Crown's PCC Series Phase Coherent Cardioid microphones are unidirectional boundary microphones that offer exceptional acoustic performance in handsome, low-profile enclosures. The PCC-160 is the industry-standard stage floor microphone, while the other models provide an elegant solution for discrete multi-mic applications such as lecterns and boardroom tables as well as altar, teleconferencing and distance-learning applications. Each PCC Series microphone employs Crown's Phase Coherent Cardioid boundary microphone technology to provide impressive gain before feedback and directional pickup without sacrificing tonal quality. This results in microphones with a wide, smooth frequency response, free of phase interference from surface sound reflections. And the microphone's sensitivity is boosted 6 dB by the surface mounting. Designed to withstand the rigors of the stage, the PCC-160 microphone has been finely crafted using the very best materials possible while maintaining affordability. Its low profile enables it to be placed inconspicuously on the stage floor, on a lectern, or any other appropriate surface. In the PCC-170SW and PCC-130SW, flexibility is further enhanced by a membrane switch control option for boardroom and lectern applications. This unique, silent operating switch can be configured three ways: touch on/off, momentary on, or momentary off operation. The PCC-170SWO includes all the features of the PCC-170SW, and adds remote sensing via a patented opto-coupled MOS switching circuit. A pair of extra leads in the microphone cable allows remote sensing of the switch closure.
