AKG C 418L – Miniature clip-on hypercardioid condenser mic

The C 418 hypercardioid condenser microphone has a specifically tailored frequency response for drum and percussion miking applications. Its two angle adjustment boom-arm with the vibration resistant rubberized clamp make it easy to place on any drum or percussion instrument. The C 418 elastomer shock-mounted capsule adds additional rejection of vibration noise while withstanding even the heaviest drumstick blows.

  Now More Flexible Than Ever. The Microflex Gooseneck Microphones. The Microflex Gooseneck microphones bring a whole new meaning to the word flexible. Beyond their fully adjustable goosenecks lies a new level of flexibility the new Microflex interchangeable condenser microphone cartridge. Designed for easy replacement and available in cardioid, supercardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns, the interchangeable cartridges offer wide frequency response and accurate sound reproduction for a broad variety of applications, such as houses of worship, courtrooms and conference centers. Plus, the condenser cartridges fit every model in the new Microflex product line for enhanced convenience and consistent sound.

Microflex Gooseneck microphones are available in four models with a variety of heights and mounting styles to choose from. One model includes a silent mute switch with LED indicator, a Shure Microflex exclusive. And every Microflex Gooseneck features high sensitivity and balanced, transformerless output for maximum immunity to electromagnetic hum and RF interference, even over long cable runs. Each Microflex Gooseneck microphone comes with a complete installation kit, including:

• Shock Mount
• Locking Flange Mount
• This microphone requires phantom power.

• Immune to RF interference
• Speech optimized frequency range
• Enhanced hypercardioid polar pattern
• High SPL capability
• Premium microphone for ubiquitous application

A History of Sound: The C 747, the so called „pencil microphone“, was first built in 1987. Due to its excellent technical specifications, especially the wide and flat frequency range, it was used for the recording of all kinds of musical instruments, even those with very low frequencies. Because of its brilliant sound reproduction and its inconspicuous optical appearance, it was quickly known as an ideal overhead microphone.
Thank to the narrow polar pattern it solved the crosstalk problem (when recording multiple instruments at once) and the problem of picking up sounds from distant spots in a room. But for all that, due to the help of the acoustically well balanced, short interference tube, it didnʼt face one of the biggest problems of most shotgun microphones – the change of the polar pattern over the frequency. This is one of many reasons why this microphone found its way into a great number of Broadcast Stations, Recording Studios, Theatres, Opera Houses, Churches, Conference Rooms and Lecture Halls.

Another big advantage of the C 747 is that the microphone will not change the sound or level too much even when the person speaking is moving a lot. So it came that the C 747 finally found its way into installed sound systems as a perfect speech and lectern microphone. The C 747 is now one of the most versatile microphones in the AKG product range and over the years it has been available in various versions and model types such as hanging module, capsule for modular gooseneck microphones and in a boundary layer microphone.

Whatʼs New in V11: As it is more and more used in conference applications, we carefully redesigned the C 747 to better cope with some specific installed sound issues.
The new C 747 V11 will have an integrated RFi shield to block out unwanted interference by mobile phones, wireless mics and the like. Also we have fine tuned the frequency response to give especially the spoken word an outstanding presence, without changing the flavour of the classic C 747 sound.

An enhanced polar pattern provides consistent off-axis rejection to control ambient noise and feedback in acoustically difficult environments. This makes the C 747 V11 an excellent choice for noisy discussion groups or reverberant pulpits while it is forgiving enough to clearly pick up talkers moving around in front of the microphone. A switchable LF roll-off filter suppresses mechanical noise. The low-impedance transformerless preamp operates on 9 to 52 V phantom power.
The C 747 V11 ships with an extensive accessory set including a shock mount/adapter, mini gooseneck, stand adapter, mounting clamp, thread link, and windscreen.

SPECIFICATIONS:

The CMX200 is a 360° revolving gooseneck microphone, designed to be used for conferences, sound reinforcements, translations and studio applications. It has a high sensitive condenser element with a unidirectional cardioid polar pattern which ensures an excellent sound quality and reduces the feedback to a strict minimum, even when exposed to vigorous, hard sound.

Thanks to its flat frequency characteristic, the CMX200 ensures a permanent high-fidelity sound, true to the userʼs voice and intonation. The dark grey color and slimline design permit a discreet blending with every possible interior or background.

• Model Name / Type: CMX20035 / Gooseneck Microphone
• Polar Pattern: Cardioid
• Impedance: 250 ohms
• Frequency Response: 50 Hz - 16 kHz
• Sensitivity: - 45 +/- 3 dB
• Dynamic Range: 113 dB
• Phantom Power 15 - 52 V DC
• Diameter: 19 mm
• Length: 400 mm

The CMX380 is a mini hanging cardioid microphone designed to be used in choirs, instrumental groups and theatres, but itʼs technical qualities and design will also justify itʼs use in several recording / reproduction applications.

The unidirectional cardioid polar pattern reduces feedback to an absolute minimum. Due to the flat frequency characteristic, users, musicians, singers and performers will experience a clear natural reproduction of their instrument or voice, even when exposed to loud powerful sounds.

The slimline modest design will not disctract the attention from the vocal of instrumental performance, and will flawlessly blend into the background.
