Power
The PZM11, PZM11LLPP and PZM11LLWRP can only be powered by Phantom Power.

The PZM11LL and PZM11LLWR can be powered by 24VAC or by 12 to 24VDC.

The PZM11LL Can be modified to operate with Phantom Power by moving R14 to R13.
R14 is a zero Ω resistor.
This can also be done by removing R14 and placing a Jumper across R13.
Gain Adjustment
By default R5 is 1KΩ resistor. The gain can be adjusted by swapping this resistor.
The mic comes with preloaded surface-mount resistors.
- 1K minimum headroom
- 2K 6 dB more headroom
- 3.9K 12 dB more headroom
- 8.2K 18 dB more headroom
- 100K maximum headroom (mic level)
