AKG PCC130 SW High Performance Boundary Layer Microphone

The AKG PCC130 SW is a compact boundary layer condenser built to capture your performance with pristine audio, minimal proximity coloration, and rejection of unwanted room noise. Its cardioid pattern and electret-condenser capsule deliver crystal-clear reproduction across vocals, acoustic instruments, and amplified sources, making it equally reliable for live reinforcement, studio tracking, and broadcast work. The satin black finish and low-profile form factor stay visually out of the way while delivering professional-grade signal integrity gig after gig.

Audio Performance

This microphone delivers a smooth, extended frequency response spanning 50–20,000 Hz, capturing full acoustic detail from bass warmth to pristine high-frequency clarity in your tone. A 72 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio and 22 dB-A equivalent noise level ensure transparent reproduction in quiet environments, while the 120 dB SPL maximum handles everything from intimate solos to full ensemble reinforcement without distortion or breakup.

Design & Controls

Measuring just 89 × 64 × 25 mm, the PCC130 SW mounts flush to surfaces for discreet placement and optimized boundary layer pickup that works seamlessly on stage or in the studio. The three-position bass-tilt switch lets you dial in low-end response on the fly, while the programmable membrane switch offers silent touch activation, momentary on, or momentary off modes—ideal for hands-free operation during live performances. A high-intensity LED indicator provides visual feedback, and the included 15-foot two-conductor shielded cable with TA3F and XLR connectors ensures professional-grade signal integrity you can count on night after night.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a boundary layer microphone, and why use one instead of a standard condenser?

A boundary layer microphone mounts flush to a surface (floor, wall, table) to exploit phase cancellation, which reduces proximity coloration and room reflections while capturing a clean, transparent sound. This design is ideal for live sound reinforcement and studio sessions where you want minimal tonal coloration and maximum clarity.

What connectors and cable are included?

The microphone ships with a Switchcraft TB3M connector and a 15-foot two-conductor shielded cable with TA3F to XLR connectors, providing professional-grade signal integrity for immediate studio or live deployment.

Can I adjust the tone on the fly, and does it work hands-free?

Yes—the three-position bass-tilt switch lets you adjust low-end response in real time, and the programmable membrane touch switch supports silent operation, momentary on, or momentary off modes, making hands-free activation possible for live performances or unattended recording.

How loud can it handle without distortion, and does it work in quiet environments?

The PCC130 SW handles up to 120 dB SPL without distortion, and its 22 dB-A equivalent noise level and 72 dB-A signal-to-noise ratio ensure transparent reproduction in quiet studio sessions or low-volume acoustic recording.

What power does this microphone require?

The PCC130 SW operates on 12–48 V phantom power, making it compatible with standard audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and preamps found in both studio and live-sound setups.
