The AKG C 5900
M
designed for vocal use on stage. A slight sensitivity peak
between 3 kHz and 15 kHz provides good intelligibility and will
make your voice cut through the loudest mix on stage.
A rugged front grill made of spring-steel wire mesh that is
extremely resistant to deformation and a sturdy zinc alloy die-
cast body effectively protect the microphone and transducer
element from damage on stage and on the road.
A level selector (1) allows you to boost the microphone's output
level by 6 dB to match the signal level to less sensitive inputs.
A switchable bass cut filter (2) (-12 dB/octave from 100 Hz)
effectively reduces low-frequency rumble.
The microphone element uses a proven backplate condenser
transducer. Similar to an anechoic chamber, an absorption ring
of synthetic rubber at the back of the capsule prevents reflec-
tions within the capsule that might degrade the frequency
response. An integrated spider type shock mount on the trans-
ducer element effectively suppresses handling and cable noise.
An internal windscreen reduces pop, wind, and breath noise to
a minimum.
The C 5900 features a removable connection module with a 3-
M
pin XLR connector. You can connect the microphone to both
balanced and unbalanced mixer or amplifier inputs.
The microphone body has been specifi-
cally designed for fatigue-free handling
and ease of use. No matter what micro-
phone technique you use, the micro-
phone will always settle comfortably into
your hand.
