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.
