About AKG PZM185

Explore the exceptional audio capture capabilities of the AKG PZM185 Low-Impedance PZM Non-RoHS Boundary Condenser Microphone, a professional-grade solution designed for a variety of sound recording scenarios. This high-quality Pressure Zone Microphone® is engineered to excel in capturing group discussions, interviews, and audio for broadcast and home video production with clarity and precision.

The PZM185 boasts a supercardioid polar pattern, renowned for its focused audio pickup. This directional attribute ensures that sound is captured predominantly from the front, making it an ideal choice for isolating speech or performances in live settings, while effectively reducing unwanted noise from other directions.

Crafted with innovation in mind, the PZM185 microphone features a detachable paddle, enhancing its versatility and discreetness. When mounted on surfaces such as tables, floors, walls, lecterns, or even cameras, the microphone blends seamlessly into its environment, maintaining the visual aesthetics of the setting without compromising on sound quality.

Reliability is at the core of the PZM185's design. It operates with dual power options, utilizing either an internal AAA 1.5V battery or 12-48V phantom power, providing users with flexibility and consistent performance in various recording situations. The microphone's wide and smooth frequency response ensures that every nuance of the audio is captured with fidelity.

Protected against static and RFI, the PZM185 is a durable choice for professionals who demand uninterrupted, high-quality audio capture. The balanced XLR output is low-impedance, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity over long cable runs, preventing hum pickup and high-frequency loss.

In summary, the AKG PZM185 Boundary Condenser Microphone is a reliable, innovative, and professional audio recording tool that delivers superior sound quality. Its discreet profile, directional audio capture, and robust construction make it a top contender for anyone seeking a dependable microphone for their recording needs.
