The PZM®-185 Pressure Zone Microphone® is a budget microphone designed for general-purpose use. Ideal for applications such as conferences, group discussions, interviews, broadcast, homevideo production, lectures, and recordings. The mic can be placed on a large surface such as a table, floor, wall, or lectern.

The PZM®-185 is powered either by an internal AAA 1.5 V battery or 12-48 V phantom power. The boundary “paddle” can be detached so the mic will fit in your pocket. It is nearly invisible on camera. The PZM®- 185 minimizes pickup of vibration and handling noise. It provides a wide, smooth frequency response from 50 Hz to 16 kHz. The mic’s hemispherical polar pattern allows clear pickup of everyone surrounding the microphone. The PZM®-185 is protected against static and RFI. The output is balanced, low impedance, which allows long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss
