Crown PZM6D

Crown PZM6D Crown PZM6D Description: Crown PZM-6D Microphone A smaller plate makes the PZM-6D more inconspicuous than the PZM-30D, while performance is the same. Perfect for mounting on clear panels overhead or on a piano lid. The microphone provides switchable dual-frequency "rising" or "flat" response. Miniaturized electronics found in the PZM-6D's XLR-type connector housing are attached to the mic via a 12-foot mini cable. Model PZM-6DS2 has a 6-foot mini cable. 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 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, along with on television, film and video productions. When suspended over an orchestra on a clear panel, the PZM-6D practially disappears. Its miniature, permanently attached cabel also effectively reduces visual clutter. The output is a male 3-pin XLRtype, 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 outstanding clarity and "reach," a hemispherical polar pattern, uncolored off-axis response, and a wide smooth frequency response free of phase interference. Crown PZM6D Specifications: Transducer: Electret condenser. Frequency response: 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Polar pattern: Hemispherical when used on a floor,wall or ceiling. Open circuit sensitivity: 7 mV/Pa* (-43 dB re 1 volt/Pa). Power sensitivity: -43 dB re 1 mW/Pa. EIA sensitivity -135 dBm. Impedance: 240 ohms, balanced. Recommended minimum load impedance 1000 ohms. Self-noise: 20 dB equivalent sound pressure level,A-weighted. S/N ratio: 74 dB at 94 dB SPL. Maximum Sound Pressure Level: 150 dB SPL at the microphone produces 3% THD. Polarity: Positive pressure on the diaphragm produces positive voltage on pin 2 with respect to pin 3 of the output connector. Operating voltage: Phantom power, 12 to 48 volts DC, positive voltage on pins 2 and 3 with respect to pin 1 of the output connector. Current drain: 1.1 mA. Co
