The Crown PCC ® -160 (Phase Coherent Car-dioid ® ) is a surface-mounted supercardioid microphone intended for professional applica-tions on stage floors, lecterns, conference tables, and news desksâwherever improved gain-before-feedback and articulation are important. Similar to the Pressure Zone Microphone ® (PZM ® ), the PCC is designed to be used on a relatively large boundary surface. Unlike the PZM, the Phase Coherent Cardioid uses a subminiature supercardioid mic capsule. Its directional polar pattern improves gain-before-feedback, reduces unwanted room noise and rejects sounds from the rear. Surface-mounting creates a âhalf-supercar-dioidâ polar pattern and increases directivity 3 dB. Since the microphone capsule is placed on a boundary, direct and reflected sounds arrive at the diaphragm in-phase. This coherent addition of direct and reflected waves increases sensitivity 6 dB and prevents phase cancellations. The mic capsule is small enough to ensure phase coherency up to the highest frequencies in the audible spectrum, resulting in a wide, smooth frequency response free of phase interference. Clarity and reach are also enhanced. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line preamp box. The PCC-160 can be phantom powered directly from the console or other remote power source providing 12 to 48 volts.
