AKG PZM10 Flush-Mount Boundary Layer Microphone

The PZM10 is a low-profile, cost-effective PZM microphone featuring a 3/4" tubular housing for ceiling, wall or tabletop installations. Intelligibility is excellent, with low frequencies below the voice range rolled off to reduce the pickup of HVAC rumble. Applications include security, surveillance and conferencing. XLR connector, phantom powered.

The PZM10, part of the Pressure Zone Microphone® line, are designed for security, surveillance, and conference-table use. The special housing design allows the microphones to be mounted into tables, walls or ceilings easily and inconspicuously.

Using Pressure Zone Microphone® technology, the PZM10 are highly sensitive and deliver a wide and smooth frequency response. Thus the PZM10 is characterized by excellent clarity and a consistent pickup anywhere around the mic.
