How does the PCC170 supercardioid pattern help capture distant speakers in a large boardroom?

The supercardioid pattern is highly directional, rejecting off-axis noise and focusing on sound in front of the microphone. This lets the PCC170 pick up speech clearly from far corners of the table while rejecting background conversation and room noise.

What is phase-coherent pickup and how does it affect speech intelligibility?

Phase-coherent pickup ensures that frequencies are captured in proper timing relationship, eliminating phase cancellation that can make words sound unclear or distant. The PCC170 delivers natural, easy-to-understand speech at long range from the microphone.

Can the PCC170 be used alongside other boundary microphones without phase problems?

Yes, the phase-coherent design of the PCC170 makes it compatible with other quality boundary microphones in multi-mic conference setups. This ensures clean mixing without the hollow or comb-filter effect that occurs with poorly phase-aligned microphones.

What does the bass-tilt switch do in a quiet conference room?

The bass-tilt switch reduces low-frequency response to cut rumble and air handling noise if your room is acoustically sensitive. Even in relatively quiet spaces, adjusting bass response can improve clarity and reduce feedback risk.

How does built-in RFI suppression protect our recording system?

RFI suppression blocks interference from mobile phones, WiFi, and fluorescent lights that can create buzzing or noise in the microphone signal. This keeps your recordings clean and reduces the need for post-processing.

Is the PCC170 suitable for both in-person and hybrid meetings with video conferencing?

Yes, the PCC170 is ideal for hybrid meetings, as its long-range pickup and natural speech intelligibility ensure that both local and remote participants hear clear, interference-free audio.

AKG PCC170 Professional Supercardioid Boundary Microphone for Boardrooms and Conference

The AKG PCC170 is a supercardioid boundary layer microphone for boardrooms, conference rooms, and lecterns. Phase-coherent pickup delivers natural speech intelligibility at long range. A bass-tilt switch and built-in RFI suppression ensure clear, interference-free operation.

Overview

The AKG PCC170 is a professional half-supercardioid boundary microphone designed for boardrooms, conference rooms, courtrooms, and lecterns. Using PCC (Phase Coherent Cardioid) technology, it ensures that direct and reflected sounds arrive in phase at the diaphragm, maximising sensitivity and producing natural, intelligible speech reproduction even at long range. The supercardioid pickup pattern provides a highly directional response, minimising background noise and feedback from off-axis sources. A wide 50 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response accentuates vocal midrange frequencies, while a bass-tilt switch eliminates low-frequency hum and subsonic noise. Built-in RFI suppression allows trouble-free operation near active mobile phones.

FAQ

Q: Does the PCC170 require phantom power?
A: Yes, the PCC170 requires 12–48V phantom power from a compatible mixer or conferencing system.

Q: How many PCC170 microphones can be used simultaneously on a conference table?
A: Multiple units can be deployed, with proper zone planning to manage microphone coverage and minimise feedback. The highly directional supercardioid pattern helps reduce crosstalk between adjacent microphones.
