Product Description
The AKG C518 is an instrument condenser microphone with a small format, ideal for drums, particularly in live or studio situations where high quality capture is needed without taking up too much room.
This ML version has a mini XLR connector and a plate for mounting to selected wireless body packs from AKG.
Here's what AKG say about the C518 Microphone
SLAVE TO THE RHYTHM for drums and percussion on stage and in the studio
The C518 professional miniature clamp-on microphone is the ultimate tool for recording of drums and percussion. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby instruments. A continuously adjustable vise-type clamp makes it easy to fix the microphone securely on the rim of drums or percussion instruments. A special snap-on stabilizer keeps the gooseneck in a defined position.
The MPAV from C518 M features an integrated, switchable bass cut for adjusting the microphone’s frequency response. The C518 ML package includes a mini-XLR cable and the unique A400 adapter plate for easy mounting onto wireless body-pack transmitters PT40/45/450/470.
