The sound of the CM-200A or CM-200ASW is smooth and non-harsh – yet very articulate – with a wider frequency range than standard vocal microphones. When used up-close, its proximity effect boosts the low-frequency response for a warm, robust sound. An upper-midrange “presence peak” adds intelligibility.

The cardioid polar pattern increases gain-beforefeedback, rejects unwanted background noise, and discriminates against sounds approaching the rear of the microphone. A built-in multi-stage pop filter effectively suppresses explosive breath sounds. Handling noise is extremely low. The unit can withstand repeated drops and abuse, as well as extremely loud sound pressure levels without distortion.

The output of the microphone is balanced, low impedance, which allows long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. The unit can be phantom powered from the console or other remote power supply. Included with the CM-200A and CM-200ASW is a convenient carrying pouch, an adjustable microphone stand adapter for mounting the unit to any microphone stand, and a foam windscreen to further reduce breath popping and wind noise.

With innovations such as Crown's patented Differoid technology, the CM series combines years of technical know-how with durable, high-quality materials and workmanship. These qualities are direct contributors to the successful performances of our customers, and a primary reason for the success Crown enjoys today.

The Crown® CM-30 is a professionalquality, supercardioid condenser microphone designed for inconspicuous miking of a choir, orchestra or stage. The mic cable connects to the electronics/faceplate which fits a standard electrical outlet box.

The CM-30 can also hang over conference tables or discussion groups for inconspicuous isolated miking. Because of its supercardioid pickup pattern, the CM-30 rejects background noise and room reverberation, and improves gain-before-feedback more than a cardioid microphone.

The CM-30 has a smooth, wide-range frequency response for natural reproduction of the singing voice, organ or other musical instruments. Extreme low frequencies are filtered out to reduce pickup of room rumble. The microphone output is balanced, low impedance. It is protected against static and radio frequency interference. A built-in removable hanger allows easy position adjustment by bending the lower portion of the hanger.

The CM-30 requires 12-48V phantom power. The CM-30 is black; the CM-30W is white.

The CM-311A is the latest version of the Crown’s proprietary Differoid® technology. Its cardioid pickup pattern rejects sounds from the rear, such as floor monitors. Its noise-canceling ability rejects sounds at a distance, such as instruments on stage and crowd noise. This results in the CM-311A having outstanding gain-before-feedback and isolation.

Lightweight and comfortable, the mic’s headband and boom adjust to fit any singer. An included pop filter greatly reduces breath noise and pops. Because of the boom’s unique behind-the-ear design, it does not cover up the singer’s face. Two models are available: CM-311A and CM-311AE. The CM-311A is powered by a 9V battery or phantom power. It has a battery belt pack with an on/off switch, a programmable mic on/off switch, and a “Mic On” LED. The CM-311AE is a pig-tail version allowing you to connect it to most wireless transmitters.

Note: Putting an XLR connector on the CM-311AE and connecting to a mic input with phantom power WILL damage the mic element. For wired applications, use the CM-311A. How to adjust for best fit and to prevent boom bounce
Note: To get the maximum performance out of this microphone, take the time to adjust it to fit correctly. For best results, the CM-311A MUST be custom fitted to a single user’s head.

The LM-201 is rugged and is built to withstand daily use. Because of its supercardioid pickup pattern, the LM-201 rejects background noise and room reverberation, improving gain-before-feedback more than a microphone with a cardioid pattern. The LM-201 has a smooth, wide-range frequency response for natural reproduction of the voice. Low frequencies are filtered out to reduce pickup of lectern thumps, room rumble, etc.

The included wire-screen grille has a two-stage pop filter to reduce pickup of explosive breath sounds. An external foam windscreen is supplied for extra pop rejection or for outdoor use. The base and mic capsule are shock-mounted to attenuate handling noise and lectern thumps. The microphone output is balanced, low impedance, which allows long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. Two finishes are available: black (model LM-201P) or brown (model LM-201B).

Because of its supercardioid pickup pattern, the LM-300A rejects more background noise, room reverberation, and feedback than a typical cardioid microphone. The model has a smooth, wide-range frequency response for natural reproduction of the singing or speaking voice. Very low frequencies are filtered out to reduce pickup of mechanically induced noise, room rumble, etc. The goosenecks adjust silently.

Supplied with the microphone is the WS-9, a highly effective foam pop filter. Its two-stagedesign greatly reduces explosive breath sounds. A low-cut switch built into the electronics housing further reduces breath pops and handling noise. Optional accessories include the LM-SM lockable shock mount, which provides mechanical isolation when mounted in a pulpit, lectern, or table top.

The microphone connector is a male 3-pin XLR-type for easy plug-in installation. The output is balanced and low impedance which allows long cable runs without hum pickup or high frequency loss. Superior RFI protection is also provided. Requires 12-48 V phantom power.

Each switch input can be programmed for either push-on/off, momentary on, or momentary off operation. In the off position, the MB interfaces provide 70 dB attenuation at the microphone output ensuring absolute quiet even when multiple microphones are in use. This interface for four mics reduces the size and cost of the microphone system and reduces installation time.

The MB-100 provides programmable switching to turn the mic on or off if desired (switches not provided). The MB-200 interface also has remote switch sensing via an optical coupler. Two microphones can be wired to each pluggable terminal block, which plugs into the MB-100 or MB-200 interface. Pluggable terminal blocks are also provided for the balanced outputs on the interface, and for remote switch sensing. The interface is powered by 18 to 48V phantom power from a mixer or a phantom power supply.

This low-profile, circular mic permanently installs into a hole drilled in a table, lectern, or ceiling. Thanks to its supercardioid pickup pattern, the MB-3 greatly reduces ambient noise and pickup of room reverberation. The result is a clearer, more intelligible sound.

On the bottom of the mic is a tubular power module with a 3-pin XLR-type output connector. It is powered by 12-48V phantom power, and has a low-impedance balanced mic-level output.

Thanks to its half-supercardioid pickup pattern, the MB-1 greatly reduces ambient noise and pickup of room reverberation. The result is a clearer sound. The MB-1 must be used with an MB-100 or MB-200 interface (not included). The interface performs these functions:
• Powers and equalizes up to four mics.
• Provides programmable switching to turn
the mic on or off if desired (switches not provided).
• The MB-200 interface also has remote switch sensing via an optical coupler.
• Pluggable microphone inputs.
• Provides balanced outputs from the interface.

The PCC-130SW has a silent-operating membrane switch which is normally off. The switch can be confi gured for touch on/off, momentary on or momentary off. This configuration is set by a bottom-mounted slide switch. A high-intensity LED lights when the unit is on. The PCC- 130SW is intended for multiple-microphone useon a conference table where each person wants control of his or her microphone. A ¼-inch (6.35-mm) stereo phone-plug option is available as the PCC-130SW/ SPP.

The microphone attenuates 70 dB when the switch is in the off position. Since the microphone capsule is placed on a boundary or surface, direct and refl ected sounds arrive at the diaphragm in-phase resulting in a wide, smooth frequency response free of phase interference. Clarity and reach are also enhanced. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line preamp.

Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-130SW has a low-impedance balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. A 15-foot (4.6-m), two-conductor-shield microphone cable is included with a TA3F connector (mic end) and 3-pin male XLR-type connector (output).

Although the standard connector on the microphone is a Switchcraft TB3M, the microphone can be special-ordered with a ¼-inch (6.35-mm) stereo phone plug on the bottom of the base plate as the PCC-130SW/ SPP. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low and sensitivity is very high. A bass-tilt switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.

Similar to the Pressure Zone Microphone® (PZM®), the PCC is designed to be used on a relatively large boundary surface. Unlike the PZM, the Phase Coherent Cardioid uses a subminiature supercardioid mic capsule. Its directional polar pattern improves gain-before-feedback, reduces unwanted room noise and rejects sounds from the rear.

Surface-mounting creates a “half-supercardioid” polar pattern and increases directivity 3 dB. Since the microphone capsule is placed on a boundary, direct and reflected sounds arrive at the diaphragm in-phase. This coherent addition of direct and reflected waves increases sensitivity 6 dB and prevents phase cancellations. The mic capsule is small enough to ensure phase coherency up to the highest frequencies in the audible spectrum, resulting in a wide, smooth frequency response free of phase interference. Clarity and reach are also enhanced.

Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line preamp box. The PCC-160 can be phantom powered directly from the console or other remote power source providing 12 to 48 volts. If battery power is required, a battery supply unit can be inserted anywhere in the mic line right up to the console or mixer. A “bass tilt” switch allows the user to tailor the low-end response for particular applications.

Thanks to its low profile and black finish, the microphone becomes almost invisible in use. A side-mounted connector complements the form factor of the PCC-160, allowing the unit to be placed effectively at the stage edge, at the top of a lectern or in other tight spots. If desired, the cable can be hard-wired for bottom entry.

The PCC-160W is finished in off-white to blend with surroundings where lighter color is appropriate. The heavy-gauge, all steel body protects the unit from accidental abuse. Permanent mounting is enabled by screw holes in the base. Engineering attention-to-detail has assured years of trouble-free use from this reliable microphone.

Capable of withstanding up to 120 dB SPL without distorting, the PCC-160 will never overload in practical use. Its electret condenser capsule provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 18 kHz. RFI suppression is included. Self-noise is low, and sensitivity is very high to override mixer noise in distant-miking applications. Output impedance is 150 ohms, balanced. Half-supercardioid polar pattern rejects pit orchestra and offers high gain-before feedback.
