The AKG PCC-160 is a professional-grade boundary layer microphone renowned for its clarity, durability, and discreet design, making it a top choice for stage, conference, and broadcast applications. Utilizing PCC® (Phase Coherent Cardioid®) technology, it features ultra-small diaphragms that eliminate audible phase cancellations, resulting in a smooth, wide frequency response from 50 Hz to 18 kHz‍. Its half-supercardioid polar pattern delivers excellent gain-before-feedback and minimizes pickup from behind the mic, ideal for floor placement in theatrical settings. The PCC-160 handles sound pressure levels up to 120 dB without distortion and includes a three-position bass-tilt switch to fine-tune low-end response for different environments. Built with a rugged, low-profile housing and requiring only 12–48V phantom power, this mic offers reliable performance and seamless integration into professional audio setups.
