AKG C417 L - Lavalier Microphone with Omnidirectional Polar Pattern and 20Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG C417 L is an ultra-compact, high-performance lavalier microphone designed to meet the demands of professionals requiring pristine audio quality and complete freedom of movement. Its extremely small form factor makes it one of the smallest lavalier microphones on the market, offering discreet and unobtrusive placement for a range of applications, including public speaking, presentations, and sound reinforcement. Available in both black and beige versions, the C417 L is perfect for users who need a microphone that blends seamlessly into their attire while delivering superior sound quality.

Equipped with a pre-polarized condenser capsule, the C417 L features an omnidirectional polar pattern that ensures natural, clear, and consistent audio capture from all directions. This design is particularly effective for speech, allowing for smooth and articulate vocal reproduction. The microphone's extended frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz) ensures detailed and balanced sound, capturing both low and high frequencies with remarkable clarity.

The microphone is highly sensitive with a 7 mV/Pa rating, enabling it to pick up even the subtlest nuances in speech while maintaining excellent clarity. Additionally, with a maximum sound pressure level of 126 dB-SPL at 3% total harmonic distortion (THD), the C417 L can handle high acoustic levels without distortion, making it suitable for loud environments like live performances, conferences, or presentations.

Designed with a matte black finish, the C417 L provides both a sleek and professional appearance, blending discreetly with the wearer's clothing. The ultra-slim profile and lightweight construction (68 g) allow for comfort during extended use without compromising performance. Whether worn on the lapel, collar, or tie, the microphone remains virtually invisible to the audience, ensuring focus stays on the speaker.

With a 1.5-meter (5 ft.) cable and a mini-XLR connection, the C417 L is compatible with a wide range of wireless transmitters and sound equipment, making it a versatile choice for both mobile and stationary applications. The microphone is powered with a voltage range of 2 to 12 V, ensuring flexibility for use with different power supplies.

Included with the microphone is a tie clip (H40/1), tie pin (H41), windscreen (W407), and a convenient microphone bag for safe storage and transport. Whether used for sound reinforcement, presentations, or as part of a professional setup, the AKG C417 L delivers unparalleled performance and clarity in a compact, easy-to-use package.
