Crown PCC130 Boundary Microphone (PCC130)

The PCC-130 features exceptional performance and small size. When the situation demands that a mic be heard but not seen, the PCC-130 is an obvious choice. Its cardioid pattern reduces background noise, reverb, and feedback. The PCC-130 is also available in white as the PCC-130W. A base-mounted, 1/4-inch stereo phone plug version is also available as the PCC-130SPP, and in white as the PCC-130WSPP.

The Crown® PCC®-130 is a surfacemounted small cardioid microphone of professional quality. This handsomely styled unit is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include churches, courtrooms and teleconferencing.

With its small size, the PCC-130 is less conspicuous on a conference table than comparable mics. Because of its highly directional pickup pattern, the PCC-130 minimizes background noise and feedback.

The microphone uses the principle of phase coherency achieved by mounting a small-diameter mic capsule very near a boundary. Direct and reflected sound waves arrive at the mic in-phase, and add coherently. This enhances sensitivity, clarity and reach.

Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line power module. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130 has a lowimpedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or highfrequency loss. Included with each PCC-130 is a 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor shielded microphone cable with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output).

Although the standard connector on the microphone is a Switchcraft TB3M, the microphone can be special-ordered with a ¼-inch stereo phone plug on the bottom of the base plate as the PCC-130SPP.

Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, the PCC-130 will never overload in practical use. Its electret-condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 20 kHz. 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.

Permanent mounting is enabled by screw holes in the base. Engineering attention-to detail has assured years of reliable use from this trouble-free microphone. The PCC-130 microphone is available in black (PCC-130), or white (PCC-130W).

Specifications:

• Type: Phase Coherent Cardioid®.
