AKG C519 M - Miniature Clip-On Condenser Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern and 60Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG C519M is a high-quality miniature condenser microphone designed for capturing the rich sounds of woodwind and brass instruments in both live sound reinforcement and recording applications. Perfect for crucial recording sessions and demanding live environments, the C519M is engineered to provide clear, detailed, and accurate sound reproduction, making it an invaluable tool for musicians and sound engineers alike.

With its cardioid polar pattern, the C519M excels in reducing feedback and minimizing off-axis noise, ensuring that the microphone focuses on the sound produced by the instrument while avoiding interference from surrounding noise or other instruments. This makes it ideal for use in orchestral setups or other crowded environments where isolation of the instrument's sound is paramount.

The C519M features an adjustable vice-clamp that easily mounts onto the bell of any brass or woodwind instrument, including trumpets, trombones, saxophones, and more. This flexible mounting system allows precise positioning of the microphone to capture the best possible sound, while the adjustable gooseneck ensures stable and reliable microphone placement, even during dynamic performances. The sturdy design of the C519M ensures that it can withstand the rigors of both studio and stage use, offering exceptional durability and consistent performance.

Designed for versatility, the C519M operates on phantom power ranging from 9V to 52V, providing compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces, mixing consoles, and other professional equipment. Whether you're recording in the studio or performing live, this microphone guarantees top-quality sound capture for brass and woodwind instruments.
