AKG CM311 Mini XLR - Headset Condenser Microphone with Cardioid Polar Pattern and 50Hz to 17kHz Frequency Response in Black Finish

The AKG CM311 Mini XLR Headset Condenser Microphone is a professional-grade, head-worn microphone designed for use in demanding touring and live-sound applications. Built to provide the highest quality audio capture, the CM311 Mini XLR excels in rejecting unwanted ambient noise, making it perfect for high-energy performances, crowded environments, and other acoustically challenging settings. With AKG's proprietary Differoid technology, which stands for differential cardioid, the microphone ensures superior rejection of floor monitors, crowds, and other extraneous sounds, delivering clear, focused audio even in the noisiest environments.

Equipped with a cardioid polar pattern, the CM311 Mini XLR provides excellent gain-before-feedback, ensuring that only the sound from the front of the microphone is picked up, while minimizing interference from unwanted noise from the sides and rear. The condenser capsule is mounted on an internal shock mount, which efficiently rejects mechanical and body noise, providing an ultra-clear, distortion-free signal. This design is especially beneficial in live sound applications, where handling noise and other disturbances can interfere with performance quality.

The CM311 Mini XLR features a robust headband construction that ensures comfort during extended use, making it ideal for performers, presenters, and speakers who need reliable, hands-free audio capture. The lightweight design offers maximum freedom of movement while maintaining a secure fit, allowing users to focus on their performance without worrying about microphone stability. The microphone comes with a 3-pin mini XLR connector, compatible with all AKG wireless body-pack transmitters, ensuring a seamless and professional-grade wireless setup.

With a wide frequency response of 50 Hz to 17 kHz, the CM311 Mini XLR captures a broad range of audio, from deep, powerful vocals to bright, detailed instruments. The microphone boasts an equivalent noise level of 26 dB-A and a signal-to-noise ratio of 68 dB-A, ensuring a high-quality, clear audio signal with minimal interference. The satin black finish gives the microphone a sleek, professional appearance, and it includes a foam pop filter (WS-6) to further reduce plosives and unwanted noise, ensuring a clean, crisp sound capture every time.

The AKG CM311 Mini XLR is perfect for touring musicians, presenters, and anyone needing reliable, high-quality audio capture in live sound environments. Whether you're on stage or speaking at a large event, this microphone offers outstanding performance, comfort, and versatility.
