Crown Pcc170swo Surface Mount Supercardioid Boundary Microphone $369 The Crown PCC-170SWO is a handsomely styled surface mounted supercardioid microphone that is appropriate for use on the most elegant boardroom table or lectern. Other applications include churches, courtrooms and council chambers. Because of its highly directional pickup pattern, the PCC-170SWO minimizes background noise and feedback. The microphone reproduces the voice with a clean, clear and natural sound. Since the microphone capsule is placed on a boundary or surface, direct and reflected sounds arrive at the diaphragm in-phase. This coherent addition of direct and reflected waves increases sensitivity 6 dB and prevents phase cancellations. The mic capsule is small enough to ensure phase coherency up to the highest frequencies in the audible spectrum, resulting in a wide, smooth frequency response free of phase interference. Clarity and reach are also enhanced. The PCC-170SWO offers a silent-operating membrane switch that is normally off. The switch can be configured for touch on/off, momentary on or momentary off. This configuration is set by a bottom-mounted DIP switch. A high-intensity LED lights when the unit is on. The microphones attenuate 70 dB when the switch is in the off position. Self-contained electronics eliminate the need for an in-line preamp. Powered by 12-48V phantom power, the PCC-170SW has a low-impedance mic level balanced output which permits long cable runs without hum pickup or high-frequency loss. A pair of extra leads in the mic cable allows the CROWN PCC-170SWO isolated remote sensing of the microphone switch closure. In a typical distance-learning application, a video camera would track to the person who switched on the microphone. Remote sensing is done by a patented opto-coupled MOS switching circuit. At the remote-sensing leads, the resistance goes low when the mic is on. The microphones attenuate 70 dB when the switch is in the off position. Supercardioid polar pattern reduces muddy-sounding room acoustics and background noise CROWN PCC technologie (phase coherent cardioid) for clear and natural sound Programmable, silent operating on/off membrane switch Extra leads in mic cable allow remote sensing of mic switch closure Small and inconspicuous Applications: Security Lectern Houses of worship Distance learning Conferencing |

Accessories and Equipment: How to Select a Web Camera
There is no doubt that many people who have considered purchasing a web camera have been put off by the fact that the picture results were not smooth and free flowing, but instead were jumpy and were annoying to watch because of frequent stops while another batch of pixels forms on the screen. For those people who have switched to digital cameras and security cameras that monitor what is going on in your home or office, you may want to take another look at a web camera. The broadband capabilities of most internet providers today means that the streaming video actually streams without the jerks and hesitations that used to be so evident in the past.
This means that a web camera may actually make good sense to serve as a security camera in either the home or the office. When you are comparing and contrasting various web cameras to determine which ones make the best selection for home or office security, the first thing you should consider is the frames per second that the camera comes with. Of course, you will want to look for the highest resolution and the highest fidelity possible as well.
The next things to review when selecting a web camera are the lens types and the focus controls so that the visibility of the images will be crystal clear. Check the characteristics in various lighting conditions if you want to get the best possible results in real life situations. You should be aware of the different levels of sophistication when it comes to adjusting focus and lens speed as that can greatly affect the quality of the images.
When you are choosing a web camera, the next item to consider is where the camera will be mounted and how large it must be in order to accomplish what is expected of it. Most web cameras will be mounted on top of the monitor, but not all web cameras can rotate both vertically and horizontally. The greatest flexibility will be gained with the maximum camera movement.
You should be sure that all the needed software to run the camera is included with the equipment. In some cases extra software is bundled with the operating software. Whether it is operating software, or other extra software not only the quality and the price should be taken into consideration, but whether it is something that is of any use for you. Another feature to compare when selecting a web camera is the manufacturer's warranty. A typical warranty will last for one year.
In addition to all of the above you should look for the extras which add value to the camera. A zoom or telephoto lens allows you to zero in on details when recording images. The ability to capture video stills can be helpful and a microphone that is built in helps the sound quality.
Reviewing the checklist above will help you to make the best possible selection of a web camera that will meet your needs.
