Frequently asked questions
Which microphone works better for a conference table where speakers sit in different positions?
The PZM10 is better suited for this use. Its hemispherical polar pattern delivers consistent sensitivity in all directions, eliminating dead zones when speakers move or turn. The PZM11 LL is optimized for fixed mounting on a single surface.
What's the main audio difference between these two?
The PZM10 has flat, uncolored response (2.5 mV/Pa sensitivity) for general-purpose capture. The PZM11 LL includes frequency shaping: low-end rolloff to cut HVAC rumble and a presence peak to enhance speech clarity, making it better for noisy environments or speech-focused applications.
How do the connectors differ, and does it matter?
The PZM10 uses a standard XLR connector that requires a separate cable and integrates with any mixer. The PZM11 LL uses screw terminals on a rear plate, eliminating a bulky connector and allowing direct wiring into installation panels—cleaner for permanent mounting but less flexible for changing setups.
Which is more invisible when mounted?
The PZM11 LL is lower profile at 29 mm tall and has a flat rectangular form factor, making it more discreet on horizontal surfaces. The PZM10's cylindrical shape at 72 mm height is taller but still compact for vertical or recessed mounting.
