The Crown PZM-30D Boundary Microphone is a pressure zone microphone designed for professional recording, sound reinforcement and broadcasting. Featuring hemispherical polar pattern for intelligible pickup of sound from any direction, the PZM-30D's pressure zone microphone technology prevents sound coloration from surface reflections.
The Crown PZM-30D Boundary Microphone's capsule is mounted in the pressure zone, an area where direct sound and reflected sound are in phase, which provides a 6dB higher sensitivity. Two selectable frequency responses (flat/rising) provide greater flexibility in mic placement and sonic character. The rising position of the frequency switch adds brilliance and a crisp attack on percussion, drums, or piano.
The Crown PZM-30D comes in a very rugged, low-profile, metal housing with detachable cable that makes it sturdy and reliable for heavy duty applications.

Love PZM's
May 3rd 2014As long-time user of PZM's (the inexpensive RadioShack Realistic variety), I wanted to get a "real" (pun intended) one, i.e. the Crown that the RSR was modeled after. It doesn't disappoint, especially as it has the "rising" (top-end boost) switch... I use it on high-hats, utilizing it's natural bass rejection (when not mounted on a largish flat surface). I also use it whenever I don't want out-of-phase sound (PZM design is such that there is no phase-cancellation). Great for capturing audio that sounds just like the human ear perceives it. Fantastic for sample and environmental recording. The only issue I have is that the plate is made from some kind of ABS-type plastic, whereas my good ol' RSR models were solid steel... a sign of the times, I'm afraid. One star less for this! Otherwise, highly recommended
