supercardioid microphone intended for professional applications on stage floors, lecterns, conference tables, and news
Similar to the Pressure Zone Microphone® (PZM®), the PCC is designed to be used on a relatively large boundary surface. Unlike the PZM, the Phase Coherent Cardioid uses a subminiature supercardioid mic capsule. Its directional polar
