MicroMic AKG C420 Mode D'emploi page 12

1 Description
1.1 General The C 420 is a head-worn miniature condenser
microphone with a convenient behind-the-neck
headband. The microphone has a cardioid polar
pattern and therefore "prefers" sounds arriving
from in front of it (from the user's mouth).
The microphone case containing the condenser
transducer is shock mounted on the microphone
arm in order to suppress cable and mechanical
noise. The microphone arm will place the micro-
phone in front of the corner of your mouth to mini-
mize pop noise and protect the microphone from
contamination. The supplied windscreen makes
the microphone even less susceptible to wind and
pop noise.
1.2 Versions The C 420 is available in three versions:
C 420: With 3-pin XLR connector with integrated adapter
for 9 to 52 V universal phantom power.
C420 L: With locking mini XLR connector for use with the
new version B 29 battery power supply, new ver-
sion MPA II phantom power adapter, or AKG
bodypack transmitters.
C 420/B-lock: With locking mini jack plug for use with the old
version B 29 battery power supply or old version
MPA II phantom power adapter.
