Product Description

This miniature instrument microphone features a clip-on, flexible mounting arm making it perfect for capturing high fidelity audio from a instrument source, even when the sweet spot is very small!

Here's what AKG say about the C516-ML

MIGHTY MICROMIC for miking up accordions, guitars and pianos

The C516 ML professional miniature instrumental microphone, part of the MicroMics family, is designed for use on accordions, pianos, guitar speakers and keyboard/organ cabinets. Using two C516 MLs (one on the bass and one on the treble side) and an optional B29 L battery power supply is the ideal way to mic up an accordion.

Key Features

  • The C516 ML comes with a wide variety of mounting materials, such as screws, adhesive pads and adapter plates, for easy installation on the instrument or amp.
  • Cardioid polar pattern for problem-free use with high ambient noise rejection
  • Flexible shock mount for efficient suppression of mechanical and body noise
  • Rugged, highly stable gooseneck for precise placement of the microphone
  • Detachable microphone cable easy to install and service
  • Established as an industry-standard accordion mic on stages worldwide, day by day for decades

Fitted to keyboard of accordion for trad. music. Excellent sound quality but mounting kit not up to the weight of the mic.

Great for accordion micing on bass and treble end. This is my second set, as they don't last forever (sound pick-up fades over time) but incredibly good sound reproduction for the price
