AKG C5 - Handheld Condenser Vocal Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern and 65Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Matte Gray Finish

The AKG C5 Handheld Condenser Vocal Microphone is a high-performance microphone designed specifically for professional vocal applications on stage. Whether you're performing in a loud, energetic live setting or in a controlled studio environment, the C5 is engineered to ensure your voice cuts through with clarity and precision. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces background noise and minimizes feedback, allowing you to maintain maximum gain before feedback - crucial for live performances. The C5 is optimized for use with in-ear monitoring systems, making it ideal for musicians and vocalists who need a reliable, high-quality microphone for demanding live performances.

At the heart of the C5 is its 24-carat gold-plated transducer case, which provides optimal conductivity and enhances the microphone's durability. The gold-plated case also makes the microphone more resistant to corrosion and humidity, ensuring reliable performance even in less-than-ideal environmental conditions. This robust construction is paired with a spring steel wire-mesh grill, designed to withstand the rigors of live performances while effectively controlling pops and wind noise, ensuring that your vocal sound remains clear and distortion-free.

The microphone features a balanced XLR connector module with 24-carat gold-plated pins for a superior signal path, ensuring a clean and transparent sound. With its wide frequency response of 65 Hz to 20 kHz and a sensitivity of 4 mV/Pa, the C5 captures every nuance of your vocal performance with impressive detail. The cardioid polar pattern isolates your voice from unwanted ambient noise, while the low self-noise of 25 dB-A and a signal-to-noise ratio of 69 dB-A allow for clean, crisp recordings even in louder environments.

To add to its versatility, the C5 is equipped with an integrated shock mount that helps reduce handling noise and vibrations, ensuring a smooth, natural sound during performances. Whether you're belting out high notes or speaking into the mic, the C5's reliable performance ensures your voice is captured accurately every time. The microphone is housed in a durable metal body with a matte grayish blue finish, which not only enhances its visual appeal but also ensures it can stand up to the physical demands of life on stage.

The AKG C5 Vocal Stage Microphone is a must-have tool for any live performer or studio artist seeking professional-grade sound capture with unmatched durability and reliability.
