Akg PCC160 Professional Supercardioid Boundary Layer Microphone

The AKG PCC160 is a boundary layer microphone designed for stage floor use, where low profile and high gain before feedback are critical. Its supercardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis sound from the rear, reducing stage wash and ambient noise. Phase Coherent Cardioid (PCC) technology positions the diaphragm so close to the boundary surface that phase cancellations occur above the audible range, delivering frequency response free from comb filtering artifacts. Maximum SPL handling reaches 120dB without distortion. The PCC160 features a three-position bass-tilt switch that tailors low-frequency response to combat stage rumble and mechanical vibration transmitted through floors. Its extremely low-profile housing allows inconspicuous placement on stages, lecterns, and conference tables without obstructing sightlines. The supercardioid pattern provides approximately 6dB greater rear rejection than standard cardioid designs, allowing higher monitor levels before feedback. Construction combines a rugged metal chassis with internal shock mounting to withstand the physical demands of live sound reinforcement and theatrical production environments.
