DESCRIPTION

The AKG PZM185 is a low-profile pressure zone boundary microphone for placement directly on a table, lectern, floor or wall, capturing speech and music without a visible stand or boom. It suits AV integrators and engineers who need discreet, intelligible pickup in conference rooms, on lecterns and in general-purpose recording work at a modest budget.

Pressure zone (boundary layer) operation places the capsule within millimetres of the mounting surface, so the direct sound and its reflection arrive in phase. That removes the comb filtering that affects a conventional microphone positioned above a hard surface, giving a more even response and a useful increase in effective sensitivity. The hemispherical pickup pattern covers a wide horizontal arc, and the flat plate housing keeps the unit stable and unobtrusive in permanent installations or quick temporary set-ups.

  • Pressure zone design phase-aligns direct and reflected sound at the boundary surface
  • Hemispherical (half-omnidirectional) pickup for wide coverage of talkers around a table
  • Condenser capsule operating from standard phantom power on a balanced XLR input
  • Slim plate housing for surface mounting on tables, lecterns, walls, floors and pianos
  • Balanced low-impedance output for long cable runs back to a mixer or DSP

A practical choice for corporate AV, education, houses of worship, broadcast talk formats and modest studio or home video recording.
