AKG PCC170 Professional Boundary Layer Microphone B-Stock
Description
AKG PCC170 Professional Boundary Layer Microphone B-Stock
The PCC170 is a compact boundary layer microphone engineered for conference tables, lecterns, and worship spaces where speech intelligibility and feedback rejection are critical. Its low-profile form factor—measuring just 23 mm in height—sits flush on surfaces without obstructing sightlines, while the supercardioid polar pattern captures the primary sound source while rejecting ambient noise and side reflections. This B-Stock unit carries cosmetic blemishes but retains full operational functionality.
Design & Build Quality
Constructed with a black finish and compact footprint (123 × 86 × 23 mm), the PCC170 integrates seamlessly into any boardroom or worship environment. The detachable XLR connector enables straightforward installation and service, while integrated RFI suppression ensures stable operation even when active cell phones are present nearby.
Audio Performance
The microphone delivers a frequency response of 50–20,000 Hz with 22 mV/Pa sensitivity, capturing clear speech and low-level ambient detail. An equivalent noise level of 22 dB-A and 72 dB signal-to-noise ratio ensure clean, intelligible audio, while the three-position bass-tilt switch allows you to tailor low-end response and suppress subsonic rumble from HVAC systems and handling noise.
