Buying question: would I choose the Crown PCC170SW for a fixed, corded microphone setup? Based on the published details, I would look at it when the goal is a planned installation or stationary capture point rather than a mobile, pass-around mic. This is a Crown microphone with a corded electric power source, so my read is that it belongs in setups where placement, cable routing, and input access are already part of the plan.
Why I’d Treat the Crown PCC170SW as a Fixed-Position Mic
The big decision here is not just brand or model number. It is whether a corded microphone makes sense for the room. I would consider the Crown PCC170SW for desks, installed positions, meeting-style layouts, or other controlled spaces where the microphone can stay in one place and the cable does not get in the way.
I would not choose it as a general grab-and-go option. A wireless handheld or clip-on mic is the more practical route when someone needs to walk around, hand the mic to another speaker, or keep the setup visually clean with fewer visible cables. The PCC170SW points in the opposite direction: less freedom, but also no battery routine and no wireless management to think about.
What the MICROPCC170SW Size Tells Me Before Buying
The listed dimensions are 9.4 x 4.75 x 2.8 inches, and the item weight is 1.09 pounds. That is not tiny. I would treat it as a placed microphone with a real footprint, not something I would buy for compact packing or minimal table presence.
The model number is MICROPCC170SW, and the manufacturer is Crown. It has been listed as available since June 22, 2011. I do not see that as a reason to buy it by itself, but I do see it as a sign that this is not a brand-new, unproven listing. If I were ordering it, I would still check the exact installation needs, cable path, and available surface space before committing.
Where the Crown PCC170SW Makes the Most Sense
I’d put the Crown PCC170SW on the shortlist for buyers who specifically want a corded Crown microphone and have a stable place to use it. Its 9.4-inch length and 1.09-pound weight make the most sense when the microphone can live in a defined position rather than move constantly from room to room.
The honest limitation is that the published facts here do not tell me everything I would want to know before buying, especially if the application is demanding. I would not make this choice on the product name alone. I would match it carefully to the room, the mounting or placement plan, and the need for a corded electric setup.
Who I’d Tell to Skip It
I would skip the Crown PCC170SW if wireless freedom is the priority, if the speaker needs to move, or if the setup has to be packed down quickly after every use. I would also look elsewhere if the buyer wants the smallest possible microphone footprint. For a planned, stationary Crown setup, though, the PCC170SW is the kind of mic I would consider seriously from the spec sheet.
