C 5900M

EMOTION TriPOWER Condenser Microphone

Description

The AKG Model C 5900M is a rugged, premium- quality supercardioid condenser microphone intended for on-stage vocal and instrument pickup. Its supercardioid pickup pattern is uniform with frequency and its response has been specially-tailored at mid and high frequencies to deliver excellent on-stage vocal applications. A switchable 6 dB sensitivity boost and 12 dB-per-octave bass cut below 100 Hz. provides flexibility in dealing with various input sensitivities and proximity effect. The C 5900M's condenser capsule is shock mounted with a unique rubber spider suspension and is protected by a dent-resistant, easily-removable wire mesh grille. The grille also has an internal pop filter to minimize plosives and wind noise. The smooth triangular shape of the microphone handle and its soft- touch finish makes it easy to hold. The lightweight body is die-cast zinc alloy and has a dark matte black finish for minimum reflection and glare. The C 5900M can be powered by phantom power from 9 - 52 volts or with the optional AKG B 15 battery adaptor.
