AKG C544 L - Headset Condenser Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern and 80Hz to 20kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG C544L Headworn Cardioid Microphone is a compact, lightweight, and moisture-resistant microphone designed for applications where clear audio capture and comfort are paramount. Ideal for fitness instruction, presentations, and other professional uses, the C544L offers superior sound quality while remaining unobtrusive and comfortable to wear. The headband is placed around the back of the neck, providing a secure and low-profile fit, making it perfect for activities that require movement and flexibility, such as aerobics and sports instruction.

Equipped with a highly sensitive cardioid capsule, the C544L delivers excellent audio quality by focusing on sound from the front of the microphone while rejecting unwanted noise from the sides and rear. This makes it ideal for environments where background noise and feedback are common, ensuring clear and intelligible sound even in noisy or acoustically challenging settings. The cardioid polar pattern enhances the microphone's ability to isolate the speaker's voice, while the shock-mounted capsule minimizes handling noise and vibration, ensuring the highest audio clarity.

Designed to withstand moisture from sweat, humidity, and makeup, the C544L features a moisture barrier that protects the microphone from environmental factors, making it highly durable and reliable for use in physically demanding situations. Whether you're instructing a fitness class or delivering a presentation, the microphone remains functional and clear throughout the activity. The output cable terminates in a mini 3-pin XLR connection, providing easy integration with AKG bodypack transmitters or power supplies, which are sold separately.

The C544L also features an adjustable arm, allowing for easy positioning of the microphone for optimal sound capture. Weighing only 0.07 lbs, the microphone is lightweight and comfortable for extended use without causing discomfort. The included W444 windscreen helps reduce wind and plosive noise, further enhancing the quality of the captured sound. The four moisture shields included provide extra protection to the microphone in demanding environments, ensuring its longevity and reliability in various applications.

With its robust design, excellent sound isolation, and moisture resistance, the AKG C544L is the perfect choice for anyone in need of a high-performance, head-worn microphone for fitness instruction, presentations, or any other professional use requiring hands-free, high-quality audio capture.
