AKG PCC170 Boundary Layer Microphone

The PCC170 is a professional boundary-layer microphone with a supercardioid pattern that minimizes background noise and feedback, designed for boardroom tables and lecterns. Its low-profile plate sits flat on the surface for a discreet, wide, and smooth pickup, and built-in RFI suppression keeps it clean even with active cell phones nearby.

A bass-tilt switch tailors the low-end response and reduces subsonic rumble. The PCC170 SW variant adds a silent programmable membrane switch that can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on, or momentary off. Both use an XLR connector with a detachable cable for easy installation.
