Crown PCC-160. Basic research will turn these up easily. Try google! http://www.fullcompass.com/product/297411.html They are supercardioidcardiod PZMs great for stage use. Crown tutorial: http://www.crownaudio.com/pdf/mics/128114.pdf There are other brands too but this is the standard mostly. <L> |

Another option would be the DPA 4061 and their associated pressure zone discs. I use these to record the singers on the Opera stage all the time. Waaay better sound than the Crowns (which I used to own), but pricier.

Yeah, any decent omni lav will sounds world better than a PCC but the PCC will give you tons more gain. PCC 160 and shure Beta91 are good footmics, but cardioid condensers across the edge of the stage can do a great job...if you have AKG 391s, 460s, Shure Sm81s, etc.... you're in for a treat! jim |
