The AKG Acoustics C4174055C is a professional-grade miniature condenser microphone that stands out for its versatility and high-quality sound reproduction. Designed for use in a variety of applications, including theater performances, live music, and broadcasting, this microphone is a top choice for professionals who demand excellent audio performance in compact formats.

One of the most notable features of the C4174055C is its omnidirectional pickup pattern. This allows the microphone to capture sound from all directions, ensuring that it picks up the full richness of vocal performances or instruments. The omnidirectional design is particularly beneficial for applications where the sound source may move, as it allows for consistent audio capture without the need for precise placement.

The C4174055C is equipped with a frequency response that spans an impressive 20 Hz to 20 kHz. This broad frequency range enables the microphone to faithfully reproduce the nuances of vocal and instrumental performances, providing clarity and detail across both low and high frequencies. This feature makes it suitable for various applications, from spoken word to complex musical arrangements.

Another key characteristic of the C4174055C is its compact design. Weighing in at just a few grams and measuring only a fraction of an inch in diameter, it can be discreetly placed on performers without obstructing their movements or distracting from their performance. This is particularly advantageous in live settings where appearance and stage presence are crucial.

The microphone also utilizes advanced AKG technologies, including high sensitivity and low self-noise characteristics, ensuring optimal performance even in challenging environments. This allows for clear audio capture without unwanted background noise, making it ideal for live vocals or instruments in crowded settings.

Additionally, the C4174055C is designed for durability and reliability. Built to withstand the rigors of professional use, it boasts a robust construction that ensures longevity, making it a valuable investment for anyone in the audio industry.

In conclusion, the AKG Acoustics C4174055C is a remarkable microphone that delivers exceptional sound quality in a compact design.
