PZM MODELS NOW AVAILABLE FROM CROWN
The PZM microphones have now been re-engineered at Crown for quantity production, and in the
process have undergone quite a face lift. They are handsome looking products!
Two models, in a choice of black or gold, are now available; and two more are moving towards an
early release date.
Crown Model 3OGP [now PZM-30D] is designed as a general purpose PZM with a 5 x6 inch plate and
an XLR connector.

Crown Model 6LP [now the PZM-6D] is a smaller PZM with a 2 x 3 inch plate and an XLR connector
at the end of a cable. The 6LP is suitable for all applications but is most useful where minimum size
may be required for aesthetic or practical reasons.

Crown Model 2LV [discontinued] is a lavalier or clip-on PZM and will be available from production
about January 1, 1981.
Crown Model 2ORM [now the PZM-20RG] is intended for recessed mounting, with the XLR connector
beneath the plate. Small stubs surround the cantilever to prevent sheets of paper from slipping under-
neath the transducer. This model is now in R&D and will be handled on a special order basis. This
special order policy will continue until demand for the model increases. Also available from Crown are
two power supplies for the PZM system, an active (PA-18), and a transformer (PX-18) version [discon-
tinued]. Both versions can be used in phantom or battery modes.
