Realistic PZM Secrets and more awesome reasons to use them!

Hi everybody this is part 2 of our realistic PZM microphone discussion.

The name 'Realistic' is not readily associated with studio microphones, however the 'Realistic Pressure Zone Microphone' from Tandy, represents an outstanding opportunity for anyone interested in investigating the attributes of the PZM at modest cost.

As with all 'pressure zone' principle microphones the pickup pattern is hemispherical and the frequency response is independent of the angle of incidence, (the angle from which the sound arrives at the mic) resulting in the characteristic 'PZM sound'; open, un-coloured and giving a freedom of placement which can be particularly useful in a home studio environment.

The Realistic 'PZM' cannot be dismissed as a 'cheap imitation', subjectively its performance rivals that of any of the other 'boundary principle' microphones on the market. Its remarkably low price has been achieved without compromising the audio performance to any significant degree and its limitations in the area of immunity to interference are easily remedied if necessary. This mic would not be out of place in a professional environment and yet must be said to bring the attributes of the 'PZM' within reach of anybody interested in recording at any level.
