DESCRIPTION
The AKG PCC160 is a surface-mounted supercardioid condenser microphone built for lecterns, conference tables and news desks, and for stage-floor pickup in theatre. Its half-space design and directional pattern deliver noticeably improved gain-before-feedback and articulation compared with a conventional microphone on a stand, making it a long-standing reference for sound engineers and AV integrators working in difficult acoustics.
The Phase Coherent Cardioid principle places the capsule directly at the boundary, so direct and reflected sound arrive in phase and the comb filtering that normally degrades speech intelligibility is avoided. The supercardioid pattern rejects sound from the rear and sides, reducing pickup of loudspeakers, HVAC noise and audience spill. A balanced low-impedance output feeds standard mixer and DSP inputs, and the low-profile housing with its non-slip base sits discreetly on a lectern shelf, table or stage lip.
- Supercardioid polar pattern for tighter directional control and higher gain-before-feedback
- Boundary-mounted capsule eliminates phase cancellation from the mounting surface
- Frequency response tailored for speech clarity from 50 Hz to 18 kHz
- Bass-tilt switch under the housing to compensate for proximity and surface loading
- Balanced XLR output operating on 12 to 48 V phantom power
Well suited to houses of worship, corporate AV, theatre, broadcast and education installation work where intelligible, low-profile speech pickup is required.
