The PCC160 is a professional boundary layer microphone and an industry standard stage floor microphone. 
It´s capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distortion. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the 
low-end response for particular applications. 
PCC® (Phase Coherent Cardioid®) technology uses diaphragms so small that any phase cancellations are 
above the audible range. This results in a wide, smooth frequency response free of phase interference. The 
PCC160 uses a supercardioid polar pattern that improves gain before feedback and reduces unwanted room 
noise from the rear.
