AKG C 542BL OMNIDIRECTIONAL-HEMISPHERICAL CONDENSER BOUNDARY MIC

C 542 BL 
 
Extremely small and inconspicuous, lightweight yet rugged
Delivers superior sound combined with outstanding ease of use
High sensitivity and low self-noise ensures generous headroom

The C 542 BL is a high-quality boundary microphone designed to deliver superior results
for a multitude of recording applications. The boundary layer technique is well-known for
recording and offers non-directional pickup that is frequencyindependent.
Succeeding the proven C 562 BL, the C 542 BL is small, lightweight and easy to place .
no stand is needed. Since the transducer sits in a metal plate only 5 mm (0.2 in) thick,
the plate doesn?t interfere with or color the sound. Frequency response is very uniform within
its hemisphere and it captures the ?room sound?? of an instrument very accurately.
The C 542 BL can be permanently attached to the floor or wall of a studio using the screw holes
in the plate or attached temporarily using the supplied adhesive compound. Its 3-pin output
connector also has a switchable bass-cut filter to minimize surface-born noise.

Easy to use and sonically versatile, the C 542 BL is a great addition to the ?mic locker??
of any studio.

C 562 CM 

Small, low-profile boundary layer microphone
Wide frequency range
High sensitivity
Ideal for inconspicuous installation in a room
Suited for surveillance or recording
 
The C 562 CM flush-mount boundary microphone uses the same transducer as the C 562 BL.
The C 562 CM has been designed specifically for permanent, "invisible" mounting in ceilings,
walls, tables, stage props, etc.
Owing to its high sensitivity, the C 562 CM is a perfect tool for surveillance or live recording
since a single microphone can cover an entire room. The supplied XLR phantom power adapter
connects to the microphone cable through a miniature connector so installation holes can be
smaller than the diameter of the phantom power adapter.

With three cardioid condenser elements in a single housing, the phantom-powered U843R offers a remarkably versatile tool for surface-mount installations. Levers on the microphone base allow easy reorientation of two elements to offer 360° or 300° coverage. Since elements can be powered and used individually or in any combination, further flexibility is easily achieved. For example, with two elements powered, the microphone can provide a figure-of-eight polar pattern; with a single element powered, the microphone functions as a standard cardioid boundary microphone. Installation and repositioning are extremely quick, thanks to four recessed pathways on the base of the microphone that enable the user to route the cable as required to accommodate any installation requirements; no tools or disassembly are needed. The microphone also offers Audio-Technicaʼs innovative UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology.

• Three cardioid condenser elements mounted in a single housing
• Easily reposition two elements (via levers on the microphone base) to offer 360° or 300° coverage; each element can be powered and used individually or in any combination
• Also functions as a stereo boundary microphone
• Provides full, efficient and flexible coverage—fewer microphones required
• Small-diameter capsules near boundary eliminate phase distortion and deliver clear, high-output performance
• Low-frequency attenuation improves sound pickup without affecting voice quality
• Cable routes through any of four recessed pathways on the microphone base (or down for direct feed through a table surface); no tools or disassembly required
• UniGuard® RFI-shielding technology offers outstanding rejection of radio frequency interference (RFI)
• Heavy die-cast case and non-slip silicone foam bottom pad minimizes coupling of surface vibration to the microphone
