AKG C 518 ML Miniature Cardioid Condenser Clamp-On Microphone

C 518 ML Miniature Cardioid Condenser Clamp-On Microphone description:

The AKG C518ML Miniature cardioid condenser clamp-on microphone with shock mounted capsule - Mini XLR. Great microphone for drums, percussion and brass instruments.

The AKG C518ML is the ultimate miniature condenser microphone for drums and percussions. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby instruments. The C 518 ML has a continuously adjustable vice-type clamp that makes it easy to fix the microphone securely on the top hoop of most drums or percussion instruments. An external shock mount provides high mechanical-noise rejection. A special snap-on stabilizer knee will keep the gooseneck bent at a defined angle. The C 518 ML is a condenser microphone and therefore needs a power supply. It can be powered with the B 29 L battery power supply, AKG WMS Series bodypack transmitters, or the MPA V L adapter for external phantom powering (none included). This version includes an A 400 adapter plate that allows easy attachment of the AKG pocket transmitters.

• Miniature cardioid condenser clamp-on microphone with shock mounted capsule, ideal for miking drums and percussions plus brass
