AKG PZM30 D Hemispherical Boundary Layer Microphone

Description
The AKG PZM30 D is a professional-grade hemispherical boundary layer microphone designed for recording, live sound reinforcement, conferencing, broadcasting, and theatrical applications. Utilizing Pressure Zone Microphone (PZM) technology, it captures sound with enhanced clarity and sensitivity by placing the microphone capsule in the pressure zone where direct and reflected sound waves arrive in phase. Its rugged, low-profile metal housing allows discreet placement on stages, tables, walls, or other flat surfaces while delivering consistent, natural audio reproduction.
