AKG PZM30 D - Boundary Layer Microphone with Hemispherical Polar Pattern and 20Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG PZM30 D is a high-performance hemispherical boundary layer microphone designed for a wide range of professional audio applications, including recording, sound reinforcement, and broadcasting. The PZM30 D utilizes Pressure Zone Microphone (PZM) technology to deliver superior sound clarity, intelligibility, and consistency. The microphone's capsule is mounted within the "pressure zone," an area where both direct and reflected sound waves are in phase, resulting in a 6 dB increase in sensitivity compared to conventional microphones. This unique feature ensures more precise and accurate sound capture, especially in acoustically challenging environments.

Equipped with a hemispherical polar pattern, the PZM30 D captures sound from all directions, ensuring that no matter where the sound source is located, it will be captured with clarity and balance. This omnidirectional pickup is ideal for recording instruments, vocal performances, or any other environment where a full, natural representation of the sound field is required. Additionally, the PZM30 D features selectable frequency responses - flat and rising - providing enhanced versatility in microphone placement and sonic character. The "rising" frequency response option boosts the high-end, adding brilliance and sharpness to percussion, drums, and piano, making it an excellent choice for capturing dynamic performances or high-energy sound sources.

The PZM30 D is built with durability in mind. Its rugged, low-profile metal housing ensures that the microphone can withstand the rigors of demanding environments, such as live sound reinforcement and on-stage applications. The microphone also features a detachable cable, allowing for easy installation and maintenance, making it ideal for use in professional setups that require reliability and convenience. Powered by 12 to 48 V phantom power, the PZM30 D is compatible with a wide range of audio equipment, ensuring seamless integration into any professional audio system.

With its versatile performance, switchable frequency responses, and durable construction, the AKG PZM30 D is the ideal choice for sound engineers, broadcasters, and recording professionals looking for a reliable and high-quality boundary layer microphone. Whether used for capturing a live performance, recording a podcast, or in a studio setup, the PZM30 D delivers exceptional clarity and detail across a wide frequency range.
