Condenser Handheld Microphone

The C 5900 combines the detailed transparency of a premium AKG studio condenser with the road tough construction, low handling noise, and feedback rejection required of a true stage performance microphone. At the heart of the C 5900 is AKG's new condenser capsule with an ultra-thin, gold-sputtered, double-stretched diaphragm which precisely captures every subtle nuance of a vocal performance. Transient response is superb, yet vocal quality remains full and warm with no trace of harshness. Vocal contoured response projects to the front of the mix, and a 3-way switch allows performers to customize proximity effect by choosing flat response or one of two bass roll-off curves.

A tightly controlled hypercardioid pattern and uniform polar response assure maximum gain-before-feedback, with consistently predictable performance when used close-in on monitors. A four-layer filter assembly effectively suppresses P-pops and wind noise, while the integrated and hardened protective basket of AKG's DuraShell system safeguards all internal components. AKG's InterSpider three-point internal elastomer suspension isolates the capsule from handling noise so energetic performers can work the stage without worry. With the C 5900, AKG offers true studio condenser response in a compact and roadworthy package.
