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

The AKG C417 PP is an ultra-compact, high-performance lavalier microphone designed for users who require exceptional audio quality combined with complete freedom of movement. As one of the smallest lavalier microphones available, the C417 PP offers an unobtrusive solution for speakers and performers in a variety of applications, including presentations, public speaking, and sound reinforcement. Available in both black and beige versions, it can be easily concealed, ensuring it remains discreet during performances or speaking engagements.

The C417 PP is equipped with a pre-polarized condenser microphone capsule that captures sound with remarkable clarity. Its omnidirectional polar pattern ensures natural, accurate speech reproduction, picking up sound equally from all directions. This makes the C417 PP ideal for situations where speakers or performers may move around or adjust their position. The microphone's extended frequency response (20 Hz to 20 kHz) ensures both low and high frequencies are captured with precision, providing clear and detailed sound.

With a high sensitivity of 7 mV/Pa, the C417 PP excels at picking up even the most subtle details in speech. It also boasts a high acoustic level capability of 126 dB SPL at 3% total harmonic distortion (THD), meaning it can handle loud sounds without distortion, making it suitable for use in dynamic environments. The microphone's low equivalent noise level of 34 dB-A ensures that it captures clear, distortion-free audio, even in quieter settings.

The microphone features a sleek, matte black finish and an ultra-slim profile, ensuring it remains unobtrusive while offering maximum comfort during long periods of use. Its small size and lightweight design (68 g) make it ideal for applications where discreetness and comfort are essential. The C417 PP comes with a 1.5-meter (5 ft.) cable, allowing for flexibility in positioning, and is equipped with a standard XLR connector for compatibility with most professional audio equipment.

The microphone operates on phantom power ranging from 2 to 12 V and consumes only 2 mA of current, making it highly energy-efficient. Included in the box are a tie clip (H40/1), tie pin (H41), windscreen (W407), and a microphone bag for easy storage and transport, ensuring that the C417 PP is ready for any situation, whether it's a live performance, a conference, or a recording session.
