AKG C 477 WR-LP Head-Worn Dual-Diaphragm Capsule Condenser Microphone

C 477 WR-LP Head-Worn Dual-Diaphragm Capsule Condenser Microphone description:

The AKG C 477 WR L/P is a highly professional head-worn dual-diaphragm capsule, condenser microphone specifically designed for almost "invisible" use by performers on stage and radio or TV moderators. In line with this concept, the microphone is extremely light.

The AKG C 477 WR L/P can be positioned very close to the user’s mouth for the highest possible gain before feedback. The C 477 WR uses a flexible band of steel tubing behind the user’s neck that can conform to achieve the most comfortable fit, effectively creating a custom fit for each user. The microphone extends from the rear of the headband, allowing for further customizing of fit for each user, making the microphone ideal for on-stage use. The microphone is protected from the build up of water, perspiration or makeup through the use of a mylar drip ring which prevents fluids from reaching the capsule. In addition, the capsule is hermetically sealed for ultimate protection.

The microphone’s capsule has a dual diaphragm transducer that acts as a noise-canceling element for structure borne sounds originating at even small distances, effectively canceling noises due to rubbing against the user’s clothing or cable impact noises.

The AKG C 477 WR L/P version is supplied with a 3-pin mini XLR connector for use with AKG bodypack transmitters or the optional MPA III Phantom power adapter from AKG for connecting to mixers or amplifiers. Flesh-tone colour, microphone on the left.
