Marshall AC-360-Z V2 Wired Microphone

The Marshall AC-360-Z V2 is designed for performance and clarity, a testament to decades of expertise in studio-grade microphone engineering. This wired microphone leverages a sophisticated multi-capsule array to deliver pristine speech intelligibility across entire rooms, making it ideal for conferences, boardrooms, lecture halls, and broadcast-ready voiceovers. By combining precision engineering with a robust, professional build, the AC-360-Z V2 embodies the philosophy of a trusted microphone company: capture every spoken word with warmth, detail, and natural warmth while minimizing off-axis noise and room coloration. The result is a microphone that doesn't just pick up sound—it preserves the nuance of voice, intonation, and emphasis, so every speaker is heard clearly from the center of the room to the farthest seat. In environments where clear communication matters, this wired microphone stands as a reliable cornerstone of your sound setup, delivering consistent performance under pressure and across varying acoustic conditions.

• 360° coverage powered by a 12-capsule array — The AC-360-Z V2 uses twelve internal microphone capsules, divided into four quadrants, to provide uniform, natural sound from every angle. This design helps ensure consistent speech intelligibility no matter where a speaker stands relative to the microphone.
• Four-quadrant capsule arrangement for even pickup — The quadrant-based arrangement helps distribute sensitivity evenly around the microphone, reducing gaps in coverage and minimizing dead zones so talkers at the edge of the room sound as clear as those at the center.
• Impressive range with up to 25 ft of intelligibility — Engineered to preserve clarity over a wide radius, the AC-360-Z V2 maintains intelligible speech within a generous 25-foot area, making it suitable for mid-sized meeting spaces and classrooms without sacrificing voice detail.
• Reliable wired performance for professional settings — Designed as a wired solution, this microphone prioritizes dependable, low-latency operation and steady signal integrity in busy environments, from live talks to corporate presentations.
• Professional-grade design built for long-term use — With a sturdy construction and a focus on clarity, the AC-360-Z V2 is tailored for professional use and everyday reliability, helping teams communicate with confidence during important discussions and events.

How to Install Marshall AC-360-Z V2 Wired Microphone

• 1. Choose a central, elevated placement in the room to optimize full-room coverage and minimize reflections. A stable tabletop or microphone stand provides the most consistent pickup for a conference setting.
• 2. Connect the microphone to your compatible preamp, mixer, or audio interface using the appropriate wired connection recommended by the manufacturer. Ensure the channel is ready to receive signal and that any necessary gains, pad, or impedance settings are considered for clean voice capture.
• 3. Power is not typically required for standard wired operation, but verify your system requirements and any inline equipment to ensure compatibility. If your setup uses phantom power or other powering methods, follow the specifications of your gear.
• 4. Place the microphone so it covers the speaking area evenly. If possible, test from multiple seating positions to confirm that voices from different distances and angles are captured clearly, then adjust the stand height and angle as needed.
• 5. Perform a quick audio check—ask speakers to talk at their normal speaking level and adjust the input gain, EQ, and any noise suppression as needed. Consider placing the mic away from sources of ambient noise like HVAC vents or ceiling fans to maximize intelligibility.
