I have three of these for sale. I cannot find the mini-XLR leads but I have ordered new ones, so each microphone will be sold complete.
Used condition, with a few marks from stickers and tape. I will endeavour to clean these up as much as possible prior to despatch.
If you know what these are you’ll know how great they are. Still for sale on Studiospares for 350! Selling becauseI hardly do any theatre work these days and they are not much good to me on corporate events.

The Crown PCC-160 (Phase CoherentCardioid) is a surface-mounted half-supercardioid microphone intended forprofessional applications on stage floors, lecterns,conference tables, and news deskswherever improved gain-before-feedback and articulation are important.Similar to the Pressure Zone Microphone(PZM), the PCC is designed to be used on arelatively 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 half-supercardioidpolar pattern and increases directivity 3 dB.Since the microphone capsule is placed on aboundary, 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 frequencyresponse free of phase interference. Clarity and reach are also enhanced.Self-contained electronics eliminate the needfor an in-line preamp box. The PCC-160 can be phantom powered directly from the console orother remote power source providing 12 to 48 volts. If battery power is required, a battery supply unit can be inserted anywhere in the mic line right up to the console or mixer. A bass tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.Thanks to its low profile and black finish, the microphone becomes almost invisible in use. A side-mounted connector complements the formfactor of the PCC-160, allowing the unit to be placed effectively at the stage edge, at the top of a lectern or in other tight spots. If desired, the cable can be hard-wired for bottom entry.The heavy-gauge, all steel body protects the unitfrom accidental abuse. Permanent mounting isenabled by screw holes in the base. Engineeringattention-to-detail has assured years of troublefreeuse from this reliable microphone.Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL withoutdistorting, the PCC-160 will never overloadin practical use. Its electret condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from50 Hz to 18 kHz. RFI suppression is included.Self-noise is low, and sensitivity is very high tooverride mixer noise in distant-miking applications.Output impedance is 150 ohms, balanced.FeaturesIndustry-standard stage fl oor microphone
