Product Information

The Crown PCC-170 condenser cable professional microphone offers a professional solution for a wide variety of sound needs. Ideal for board rooms, conferences, studio recording sessions, stage performances, and even live music, the Crown PCC-170 utilizes some of the best technology for quality results. The Crown company is known for its reliability, accuracy, and durability, all of which come out in the high-tech features of this microphone. With a cardioid pattern designed to capture sound sources right in front of the mic, the PCC-170 filters out unwanted noise and sounds from the background, making it a smart choice for many different audio conditions. The 22 decibel-A effective output level produces an ultra-sensitive result, so that your audience can catch the loudest of sounds and the quietest of noises. Voices are reproduced with a clear and natural sound thanks to its highly directional pick-up pattern. Those knowledgeable about audio sound quality will appreciate the 50 hertz to 20 kilohertz frequency response that allows the microphone to precisely capture ultra-low and brilliant treble tones with astonishing clarity. Due to the microphone’s placement on a surface or boundary, both direct and reflected sounds arrive at the diaphragm in phase. Phase cancelations are canceled thanks to the increased sensitivity brought about by the coherent addition of direct and reflected waves. The convenient presence of a bass tilt switch further eliminates low frequency hum and noise, ensuring a crystal-clear sound quality. The bass tilt also allows you to tailor the low-end response depending on your audio needs. The bass tilt switch has three options: flat, which provides a flat low-frequency response for normal usage; cut, which rolls off the bass and works well in noisy settings; and boost, which boosts the base for a more natural sound when the microphone is used on a small space, such as a lectern for public speaking. Other notable features include the super-cardioid polar pattern, which offers a high gain before feedback and a small mic capsule that ensures the most detailed phrase coherency up to the highest frequencies in the audible spectrum. A wide, smooth frequency response results in a high-quality sound. The reach and clarity of this microphone are enhanced, making it perfect for performers, such as acapella groups, lead singers, and even choruses. Even more convenient for the performer on the move, this microphone is lightweight, powerful, and portable, weighing only 6 ounces. The convenient portability makes it easy to include the PCC-170 in your recording kit. When it comes to accessories, this microphone is powered through a 12- to 48-volt phantom power source, such as those made by the Crown company and others. The standard connector option is a Switchcraft TB3M. The self-contained electronics mean that an inline preamp is not necessary. The PCC-170 also has a low impedance balanced output, which permits long cable runs without hum pick-up or high frequency loss.
