AKG PZM6 D Low-Profile Hemispherical Boundary Layer Microphone

The AKG 3322H00010 is a boundary layer condenser microphone designed to sit directly on a stage floor, conference table, podium, or any other hard surface and capture sound evenly across a wide hemisphere. Because it works so close to the mounting surface, it picks up direct sound first and keeps reflections from coloring the signal, so voices, instruments, and room ambience all come through with consistent clarity.

At the heart of the microphone is AKG’s PZM technology, which places the capsule in the pressure zone where reflections are in phase. This approach greatly reduces the comb filtering that usually plagues surface-mounted microphones, making the PZM6 D a dependable choice for engineers who need transparent, natural sound. Two selectable frequency curves let you decide whether the recording should stay flat and uncolored or carry a gentle high-frequency rise that adds extra sparkle to speech and stringed instruments.

The microphone covers the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz audible spectrum, so it handles everything from the low rumble of a bass drum to the delicate ring of a triangle. A six-foot fixed cable ends in a balanced XLR connector, ready for mixers, interfaces, and installed sound systems that expect professional-level wiring. The metal housing keeps the capsule protected, while the low profile and light weight let you place the mic where sightlines are critical, such as video sets, theater stages, or boardrooms.

Engineers tracking an orchestra, broadcasters miking a round-table discussion, content creators needing an unobtrusive desk mic, or installation contractors outfitting a courtroom will all find the PZM6 D fits naturally into their workflow. Its combination of wide coverage, switchable voicing, and plug-and-play connectivity makes it a flexible tool for nearly any critical audio task.

Highlights:

• Hemispherical pickup gathers sound evenly across a 180-degree field
• PZM capsule placement minimizes surface reflections and maintains clarity
• Selectable rising or flat frequency response adapts to different sources and spaces
• Low-profile metal housing sits discreetly on tables, floors, or podiums
• Full 20 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth captures the entire audible spectrum
• Permanently attached six-foot cable ends in a balanced XLR connector for professional gear
• Light overall weight keeps the microphone stable without adding visual clutter
