  • Picks up distant sounds with clarity
  • No need for mic to follow the action - maintains tone quality at all angles
  • Runs on a single AAA battery

Affordable mic with Pressure Zone technology
The Crown Sound Grabber II is an updated version of the original Sound Grabber. It utilizes the same Pressure Zone Microphone technology in which sound waves reinforce themselves in the area nearest a flat surface, usually referred to as the boundary.

Picks up distant sounds with clarity
Top recording engineers all over the world are using professional versions of the Crown PZM (Pressure Zone Microphone) to improve the quality of their recordings. The Sound Grabber II is one version of that technology, designed to meet the needs of the home or business recordist and bring the benefits of PZM technology within the reach of many more people. The Sound Grabber II offers you the opportunity for vast improvement in the quality of your recordings. The Sound Grabber II will pick up sounds at distances you never thought possible and it will pick them up with a clarity that other microphones, because of the limitations of their construction, simply cannot match.

No need for mic to follow the action - maintains tone quality at all angles
The Sound Grabber II does not need to follow the action, since it has a wide-angle pickup pattern. So long as the mic “sees” the sound, in whatever direction or angle, it will pick it up clearly; it does not need to be between you and the other person. Speakers or vocalists can move freely around the
Sound Grabber II without their tone quality changing.

Runs on a single AAA battery
Powered by a 1.5-volt AAA battery, the Sound Grabber II includes a permanently attached cable with a 1/8" phone plug. The microphone's unbalanced output connects directly to a miniature cassette recorder. A 1/4" phone plug adapter is provided.


Crown Sound Grabber II Pressure Zone Microphone Features:
  • Ideal mic for stage productions, band concerts, conferences
  • Pressure Zone Microphone technology picks up sound at boundaries
  • Captures distant sounds with full fidelity and clarity
  • Speakers or vocalists can move freely without loss of tone quality

Improve the quality of your recordings with the Crown Sound Grabber II!
