Product Overview

The Crown PZM-6D is a Pressure Zone Microphone designed for professional recording, sound reinforcement and broadcasting. It has many applications, from miking full orchestras or individual musical instruments to security or teleconferencing. The PZM-6D has a switchable dual frequency response: rising (R) or flat (F). The “rising” position adds brilliance. This makes it useful wherever a crisp attack is desired, such as on percussion, drums, or piano. The user can get a bright sound without boosting high frequencies on the recording console; the result is lower noise. The “flat” position provides a smooth, flat, high-frequency response for natural sound reproduction. PZM-6D has a smaller plate. Its low profile, unobtrusive appearance is appreciated in conference rooms, as well as on television, film and video productions. When suspended over an orchestra on a clear panel, the PZM-6D practically disappears. Its miniature, permanently attached cable also reduces visual clutter. The output is a male 3-pin XLR type, balanced and low impedance, which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. Like other Pressure Zone Microphones, the PZM-6D utilize the Pressure Recording Process in which a miniature condenser microphone capsule is positioned very close to a sound-reflecting plate or boundary. The capsule is mounted in the “Pressure Zone” just above the boundary, a region where sound coming directly from the sound source combines in phase with sound reflected off the boundary. The benefits are excellent clarity and "reach," a hemispherical polar pattern, uncolored off-axis response, and a wide smooth frequency response free of phase interference.

Features

  • Hemispherical polar pattern for intelligible pickup of sound from any direction
  • PZM (Pressure Zone Microphone) technology prevents sound coloration from surface reclections
  • Switchable dual-frequency response for enhanced flexibility in mic placement and sonic character
  • Small lightweight metal housing for mobile and studio applications
  • Fixed cable with XLR connector for easy handling

Specifications
