Overview

An excellent choice to cut through dense, loud mixes.

The AKG C5 Cardioid Condenser Vocal Microphone will make your voice cut through the loudest mix - on any stage. Its cardioid polar pattern ensures maximum gain before feedback and has been optimized for use with in-ear personal monitor systems.
The gold plated transducer case not only gives the microphone a sophisticated esthetic touch but also makes the transducer extremely resistant to corrosion and humidity. The result is superior audio performance.

Requires phantom power.

Features

  • Rugged condenser microphone for vocal miking on stage
  • Extremely resilient, spring-steel wire-mesh cap for extra impact resistance
  • Built-in windscreen/pop filter for effective suppression of pop and breath noise
  • Transducer shock mount reduces handling and cable noise
  • Frequency-independent cardioid polar response for high gain before feedback
  • PB 1000 Presence Boost attachment for optimum intelligibility of speech
