The C 5/D 5 Series features an attractive and robust new industrial design with the highest quality and durability standards, along with excellent sound and unmatched feedback resistance for professional musicians.
Based on extensive market research and performance testing conducted in 2006, AKG has incorporated superior transducer technology with maximum isolation of handling noise to deliver pristine of vocals in every venue from small clubs to large concert stages. "Our goal was to create vocal microphones that would set new standards for performance and reliability in the live sound microphone market," stated Stefan Gubi, President of AKG Acoustics GmbH. "Through unique features and new technologies such as our Laminate Varimotion diaphragm, AKG's new C 5 microphone deliver unmatched performance, providing musicians with superb sound quality and outstanding durability."
The C 5 condenser vocal microphone feature a dent-resistant spring steel wire mesh grille cap for maximum protection of the capsule and a rugged zinc alloy die-cast housing, which can withstand tough use during animated live performances. An integrated shock absorber system minimizes handling noise exceptionally well.
The C 5 features a 24-carat gold-sputtered housing that protects the condenser capsule against moisture and humidity plus a removable Presence Boost adapter for increased intelligibility.
This professional 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 monitor systems.
The gold plated transducer case does not only give the microphone a sophisticated esthetic touch but also makes the transducer extremely resistant to corrosion and humidity. The result is superior audio performance.
