C 5900

Tripower Condenser Microphone

Description

The AKG Model C 5900 is a rugged condenser hypercardioid microphone intended for on-stage instrumental and vocal pickup. Its hypercardioid pattern is uniform with frequency, and response has been boosted slightly at mid and high frequencies for crisp instrumental pickup and improved speech intelligibility. Switchable 6 dB/octave bass roll-off and 12 dB/octave bass cut provide flexibility in dealing with proximity effect. The microphone capsule is shock mounted with an easily removable wire mesh grille. The smooth triangular shape of the microphone is easier to hold than normal circular cross-section designs and is stable when the microphone is placed on a surface. The light- weight body is die cast zinc alloy and has a dark matte finish for minimum reflection and glare.
