Have sound that stands out from a microphone that blends in perfectly with the AKG PZM185 hemispherical boundary microphone. Designed for applications like group discussions, interviews, broadcasts, and home video productions, the PZM185 is a Pressure Zone Microphone® that makes sure everyone in the group can be heard.
The paddle on the microphone can be detached, allowing it to fit in smaller spaces and making it practically invisible when mounted on tables, floors, walls, lecterns, or cameras.
Use the PZM185 in many different locations without worrying about how to power it up: the PZM185 can be powered by an AAA 1.5V battery or 12-48V of phantom power.
Sound quality is excellent with the PZM185’s wide, smooth frequency response. Several protective elements are included in the PZM185, such as protection against static and RFI (radio frequency interference). The PZM185 is also equipped to handle long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss since the XLR output is balanced and low-impedance.

About Boundary Microphones at Sound Productions
Optimize your audio with Sound Productions’ assortment of boundary microphones! A boundary microphone (sometimes called a “pressure zone microphone”) is comprised of one or more capsules built into a microphone that mounts on a flat surface such as a table, desk, wall, or ceiling. The low-profile design of most boundary mics makes them easy to place in a range of environments without taking up too much space, while wired and wireless options of different models give you the flexibility to place or reposition the mic as space allows.
A great choice for situations where you have more than one sound source you want to capture, boundary microphones are ideal for professional audio setups in businesses, such as board rooms, conference rooms, and office spaces. For instance, a boundary mic makes communication easier in group meetings where multiple people are collaborating. Boundary microphones work well for any multi-use environment where versatile miking is key.
