The AKG D5 WL1 is a dynamic vocal microphone capsule designed for use with the AKG D5 handheld transmitter. It features a supercardioid polar pattern, making it an excellent choice for high-volume environments where clarity and feedback rejection are crucial. The supercardioid design focuses on sound from the front of the microphone, effectively isolating the intended audio source while minimizing unwanted off-axis noise and feedback. This makes the D5 WL1 particularly suited for live performances, where it is essential to maintain clear vocals while avoiding interference from other sound sources or loud stage monitors.
The capsule's rugged design includes a dual shockmount system, which protects the microphone from handling noise and mechanical vibrations, ensuring stable and reliable audio capture in dynamic environments. This feature makes it ideal for performers who require a robust microphone that can withstand the demands of frequent use and high-pressure sound levels. The patented AKG Laminated Varimotion diaphragm within the D5 WL1 accurately reproduces vocals with exceptional clarity, providing a rich, detailed sound that can cut through the loudest of stage performances without distortion.
With a frequency response range of 70 Hz to 20 kHz, the D5 WL1 ensures full-range sound reproduction, capturing the nuances of the human voice while reducing low-frequency noise. This wide frequency response, combined with the microphone's high sensitivity of 2.6 mV/Pa, ensures that vocals are captured with precision and detail. The D5 WL1 can handle extreme sound pressure levels (SPL) up to 147 dB at 1% THD and 156 dB at 3% THD, making it perfect for use in loud stage environments without distortion or audio clipping.
The capsule is designed with a spring-steel wire mesh grille, which provides durability and protection for the microphone's internal components. The D5 WL1 is compatible with AKG's DMS800 and WMS4500 wireless systems (DHT800 and HT4500 handheld transmitters), offering seamless integration with these high-performance wireless setups for both live and studio applications.
