If the microphone is used on a lectern, place it
on an open surface, not in a cavity. Otherwise
the frequency response and polar pattern will
be degraded. Set BASS-TILT to BOOST.
The PCC includes two keyhole slots in its base
to accept mounting screws for permanent
mounting. To screw the PCC to a table top, fol-
low this procedure:
1. Punch out the keyholes marked on the label
underneath the base plate (use a razor blade,
small screwdriver, etc.).
2. Using the template below (Fig. 6), mark the
location of two holes in the table where you
want to mount the mic. These holes are 1.6
inch (4 cm) apart, center-to-center. They are
1.56 inches (3.96 cm) from the rear of the mic.
3. Screw two #8 woodscrews (0.27-in. or
7-mm diameter head) into the table at the
locations you marked.
Architects’ and Engineers’ Specifi cations
The microphone shall be the Crown Model
PCC-130. The microphone shall be a half-cardi-
oid electret condenser type, utilizing a submin-
iature transducer of rugged construction.
The microphone shall employ the principle
of phase coherency achieved by mounting a
small-diameter element very near a boundary,
thus eliminating comb fi ltering in the audible
spectrum. The microphone will exhibit excellent
off-axis response and gain-before-feedback.
A 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor shielded
cable with TA3F and A3M connectors shall be
supplied with the microphone. As an option,
the microphone may be obtained with a bot-
tom-mounted stereo phone plug (model PCC-
130SPP, no cable provided).
Nominal sensitivity shall be 22 mV/Pa. Maxi-
mum SPL shall be 120 dB SPL for 3% THD.
Equivalent noise shall be 22 dBA nominal.
Frequency response shall be 50 Hz to 20,000
Hz with a uniform off-axis response, over 20 dB
down at the rear null.
The Crown PCC-130 is specifi ed.
Warranty
Crown professional microphones are guaran-
teed against malfunction for a period of three
