AKG Acoustics debuted the
new C 5 and D
5 vocal microphones at Prolight + Sound 2007, establishing
new performance standards for live performance microphones. The
C 5/D 5 Series features an attractive and robust new industrial
design with the highest quality and durability standards, along
with excellent sound and unmatched feedback resistance for professional
musicians.
Based on extensive market research
and performance testing conducted in 2006, AKG has incorporated
superior transducer technology with maximum isolation of handling
noise to deliver pristine of vocals in every venue from small
clubs to large concert stages. “Our goal was to create vocal
microphones that would set new standards for performance and
reliability in the live sound microphone market,” stated
Stefan Gubi, President of AKG Acoustics GmbH. “Through unique
features and new technologies such as our Laminate Varimotion
diaphragm, AKG’s new C 5 and D 5 microphones deliver unmatched
performance, providing musicians with superb sound quality and
outstanding durability.”
The C 5 condenser vocal microphone
and D 5 dynamic vocal microphone each feature a dent-resistant
spring steel wire mesh grille cap for maximum protection of the
capsule and a rugged zinc alloy die-cast housing, which can withstand
tough use during animated live performances. An integrated shock
absorber system minimizes handling noise exceptionally well.
The C 5 features a 24-carat gold-sputtered
housing that protects the condenser capsule against moisture
and humidity plus a removable Presence Boost adapter for increased
intelligibility.
The D 5 dynamic includes the
new Laminate VarimotionTM diaphragm technology to deliver smooth
frequency response and the highest gain-before-feedback.
All models include value-added
components such as gold-plated XLR output connectors for loss-free
signals, a vinyl carrying bag and stand adapter. |
