Akg C518m Clamp On Mic
Product Info
The AKG C518M is the ultimate miniature condenser microphone for drums and percussions. Its cardioid polar pattern rejects overspill from nearby instruments. The C 518 M has a continuously adjustable vice-type clamp that makes it easy to fix the microphone securely on the top hoop of most drums or percussion instruments.
An external shock mount provides high mechanical-noise rejection. A special snap-on stabilizer knee will keep the gooseneck bent at a defined angle. The C 518 M is a condenser microphone and therefore needs a power supply. It can be powered with external 9 to 52 V universal phantom power. This version includes a useful switchable bass rolloff (-4 dB at 100 Hz) on the XLR connector body.
