A special moisture shield on the
microphone capsule makes it diffi-
cult for moisture and makeup to
penetrate into the microphone.
This barrier prevents the micro-
phone sound entries from being
clogged by perspiration or makeup
which would make the sound dull
and reduce the sensitivity of the
microphone. Therefore, never remove the moisture shield from the
microphone!

MPA III phantom power adapter
The C 477 WR is a prepolarized condenser microphone and requires a
supply voltage of 1.5 VDC to 12 VDC.
You can connect the C 477 WR L directly to any bodypack transmitter
from AKG.
Alternatively, you can use the MPA III phantom power adapter from
AKG and a microphone cable to connect the microphone to a mixer or
amplifier input.
1. Plug the mini XLR connector on the cable of your microphone all the
way into the audio input connector on the bodypack transmitter.
The connector will lock automatically.
Refer to the instruction manual of your bodypack transmitter.
The C 477 WR L has been designed specifically for use with
AKG bodypack transmitters. Using the microphone with a
bodypack from a different manufacturer may cause malfunc-
tion or damage to the microphone which may not be covered by
the warranty.
The optional MPA III phantom power adapter lets you connect the
microphone to any phantom power source or XLR inputs with 9 to 52 V
phantom power.
We recommend the optional N 62 E or N 66 E AC power supply or B 18
battery supply (also optional) from AKG for powering the MPA III.
1. Plug the mini XLR connector on the cable of your microphone all the
way into the mini XLR connector on the MPA III connecting cable.
The connector will lock automatically.
2. Connect the MPA III to the desired input with phantom power.
